Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers appeared to lose his cool after an issue during a play in practice with receiver Roman Wilson. Rodgers signed a one-year deal to be the Steelers' quarterback this season. However, a knock on Rodgers in his career has been his hard-approach attitude, and that reportedly showed in practice.

ESPN NFL insider Ben Solak was at the Steelers' camp when the heated exchange happened, and he detailed what went down.

"A miscommunication on a rep between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and second-year wide receiver Roman Wilson," Solak wrote on Monday. "In a one-on-one period in the high red zone, Wilson was running an out-breaking route from the slot. The cornerback had nice underneath leverage, but that meant he couldn't see the trajectory of an incoming throw.

"Rodgers tried to throw the ball to the back shoulder, stopping Wilson's momentum to allow the corner to breeze by -- not an uncommon approach in the red zone. Wilson adjusted late and barely got an outstretched hand on the ball -- incomplete."

After the ball fell incomplete, Solak reported that Rodgers "let him have it."

"On the long jog back to his position group, Rodgers alternated between laying into Wilson and laying into Zach Azzanni, the Steelers' wide receivers coach. The QB wagged his head, planted his hand on his hips and stopped only to start up again twice," Solak wrote.

Wilson was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft by the Steelers.


Steelers' Aaron Rodgers made an interesting comment about Roman Wilson

The exchange between Aaron Rodgers and Roman Wilson happened just days before the quarterback made an interesting comment when asked about the Steelers' receiver room.

"I gotta get Ro out of his own head a little bit. ... He cares so much, whether it's my approval or if he's doing it right. ... The more you can play free and not think out there, the better he's going to play," Rodgers said. "The more he can just trust what he's got and then just go out there and react, the better he can play."

Wilson finished his rookie season playing just one game as he was hampered by injuries.
