Ravens Ex Announces Bold Claim on Aaron Rodgers’ Steelers

After months of speculation, veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers finally decided to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he will have a very solid group of weapons around him.

And one former NFL player had a very bold take about Rodgers' new teammates.

On a recent episode of ESPN's Get Up, former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Bart Scott had something to say about the Steelers' wide receiver group, and it is quite the positive claim.

"This is the best group of receivers that we've seen him with in a long time," Scott said. "He has an established receiver. We've seen what he's done with the guys like Greg Jennings and the Jordy Nelsons. He's been a guy that has created and made people's careers that we've never heard of."

While that last part may be true, but it may be a but premature to say that this is among the best wide receiver groups the 41-year-old field general has ever had.

Even though the team was not as successful as many would have expected, Rodgers had quite the group of guys just this past season with the New York Jets. With young stud Garrett Wilson on one side, and future Hall of Famer Davante Adams on the other, it made for quite the wide receiver duo.

D.K. Metcalf and the rest of the Steelers' weapons will be looking to prove this season that they are in fact some of the best receivers that Rodgers has ever played with.
