Aaron Rodgers Praises DK Metcalf at Steelers Practice 

“We all lose our minds at times out on the field, and mine always get caught. His, not so much. … DK is a passionate guy, and sometimes you just gotta let him go, because that passion is what makes him such a great player.”

Metcalf remains an important part of Pittsburgh’s passing attack. Through the first four games, he has been targeted 24 times, giving him the most targets on the Steelers.

The receiver also showed what he can provide during the loss to Cleveland, finishing with five receptions for 115 yards. That production explains why Rodgers remains confident that the two can find their rhythm.

The Steelers have struggled to consistently move the ball early in the season, but Rodgers’ comments suggest there will not be a major change in how he approaches Metcalf. Instead, the veteran quarterback believes communication and continued work can resolve their issues.

Pittsburgh enters Week 5 at 2-2 and will need more from its passing game as the AFC North race develops. Cleveland and Baltimore are both 3-1, leaving little room for the Steelers to drop more games.

Rodgers has made his position clear. He still trusts Metcalf, and the quarterback believes their connection will eventually produce the results Pittsburgh expects.
