Aaron Rodgers calls out Steelers teammate after practice

The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting ready for the season opener, but it looks like Aaron Rodgers is already in mid-season form.

The former MVP, known for his accuracy and elite ability to take care of the football, threw a head-scratching interception in practice.

When asked about it, the quarterback didn't hesitate to throw Roman Wilson under the bus.

He called out the Steelers' young wideout, citing that he's dealt with the same issues for a while now.

Aaron Rodgers calls out Roman Wilson over practice mishap

“Roman (Wilson) made a repeat mistake. That's a good learning experience because I don't think he's going to do that again. But he did the same thing early in training camp,” Rodgers told the media (h/t Ari Meirov).

Rodgers has a long history of singling out his teammates when these things happen.

He may not necessarily think of it as throwing them under the bus; it's more about him being straightforward and telling it as it is. He's certainly earned his stripes.

At least, he also gave Wilson his flowers and talked about how this is the right time to make mistakes:

“I think it's best that it happened in training camp. Roman is a great kid. He's had a fantastic camp. I have the utmost confidence in him. He's gonna play a big role for us. But mistakes can happen. That's a great one to happen in practice,” he added.

At the end of the day, this is just a part of the whole Aaron Rodgers experience.

For better or worse, he comes with much more than just his Hall of Fame resume, and he won't change his ways as he approaches the sunset of his career.
