A happy Aaron Rodgers is good news for Steelers

Aaron Rodgers is a four-time MVP, and he's won a Super Bowl. Sure, he'd probably like a few more rings, but there's very little he has to prove anymore as far as his NFL career is concerned.

And yet still, there's a fire there to keep playing. He'll turn 42 during this season, and he's been considering retirement for at least a few offseasons now. There was an opportunity to be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, though. After a disappointing two seasons with the New York Jets, one gets the sense that Rodgers wants to do everything he can to go out on top, or at the very least as close to the top as he can get.

Still, after his first training camp experience as a member of the Steelers, Rodgers made it clear that this isn't an ego thing for him. For Rodgers, the decision to keep playing and to play for head coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers is more of an internal thing.

"This was a decision that was best for my soul, and I felt like being here with coach [Mike Tomlin] and the guys that got here and the opportunity here was the best for me, and I'm excited to be here," Rodgers said, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN.

Rodgers did admit that he did consider other teams, like the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings, but ultimately, the Steelers have something that no other organization in the league does: Tomlin.

"It starts with Mike Tomlin," Rodgers explained. "I've been a fan of his for a long time. There's a few iconic franchises in the NFL. I played for one of 'em for 18 years. This is another one of those. There's something special about obviously this area. So many great quarterbacks are from Pittsburgh. I feel like Pittsburgh has been a part of my career from the beginning."

Ironically enough, Rodgers' one Super Bowl appearance and win was a victory over the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV when he was just ramping up his career with the Green Bay Packers. 

It's been an up-and-down ride for him since, and he's never been one to shy away from either the limelight or his penchant to wear his emotions on his sleeve.

Rodgers' frustrated look has become just as much a staple of his career as the four MVPs, and he's the type of player who is seemingly "all in" or "all out" when it comes to engagement.

We've seen things go sour with him in the past. He and Mike McCarthy were infamously not on the same page toward the end of McCarthy's time in Green Bay, and there were rumors that Rodgers played a role in Robert Saleh being fired by the Jets, though he did deny those rumors.

When things are great with Rodgers, they're great. Like, competing for Super Bowls is great. When things aren't locked in, though, his attitude can seemingly go south in a hurry.

He's in the honeymoon phase with the Steelers right now, but if his soul feels content in Pittsburgh and he feels excited about the decision to play for Tomlin, that can only mean good things for the Steelers.
