Kessler Predicts Rodgers Elevates Steelers in 2026
Former NFL QB Cody Kessler predicts Aaron Rodgers will have a better year in Pittsburgh in 2026 thanks to a stronger relationship with Mike McCarthy and the Steelers’ improved roster, even though Rodgers won’t be the same high-volume passer he was in Green Bay. With upgrades at wide receiver and a more balanced offense, Pittsburgh will rely on better efficiency and lower turnovers rather than Rodgers carrying the unit; Rodgers posted 3,322 yards and 24 TD with 7 INT in 16 games in 2025, but his 2018 peak numbers aren’t expected to return, making consistency the key.
