There's excitement surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers entering the 2025 season due to the signing of free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a one-year, $13.65 million contract.
Of course, in recent years, much of the discourse among fans and members of the media surrounding the quarterback suggests that he's developed into somewhat of a diva throughout his career.
However, on Wednesday, a video originally posted to TikTok showed the newest member of the Steelers kneeling to talk to a young Green Bay Packers fan wearing Rodgers' iconic No. 12 jersey, and eventually signing it.
Rodgers's exit with the Packers wasn't the smoothest, as they drafted his replacement, Jordan Love, two years early. So, many fans are praising him for still showing such kindness to the young fan.
"Around the GB area, he is legendary for being a good guy to people that would run into him," said one X user.
"They can never make me hate you, 12," said another.
"No amount of gaslighting in the world will ever get me to dislike this man. Favorite Packer of all time and idk if that could ever be changed," a third added.
A fourth said, "I’ve never understood the Aaron Rodgers hate. Not in my house. Feel really fortunate we had him for as long as we did. Wishing him nothing but success in Pittsburgh! #SteelersNation."
"He has always been great! True Packer fans know it. Greatest Packer of ALL TIME!" A fifth continued.
"He gets such a bad rap but he’s a good guy, smart as hell and one of absolute best to ever play the game. #12," said another.

Of course, 2025 with the Steelers is likely the final ride for Rodgers, because during a Tuesday appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," he was asked if he would be done once the season concluded, to which he responded, "I’m pretty sure this is it."
If that's the case, he will be leaving behind a rich career that features a total of 10 Pro Bowl appearances, four MVP Awards, four First-Team All-Pro selections and one Super Bowl.
