Aaron Rodgers says joining Steelers is ‘best for my soul’ and reveals recent marriage

41-year-old took time before returning for 21st NFL season

Quarterback says he is keen to work with Mike Tomlin

Aaron Rodgers says his decision to return for a 21st NFL season and to do so in Pittsburgh was not about trying to prove something to himself, the New York Jets or anyone else.

Standing in front of a sea of cameras for his first press conference as a Steeler, the 41-year-old Rodgers said the coda he is trying to author in Pittsburgh is about something deeper than football.
