Skylar Thompson, No. 3 on Pittsburgh's depth chart behind Mason Rudolph with rookie Will Howard dealing with a hand injury, says Rodgers has been a model teammate and non-confrontational from the times the pair have shared together in the quarterback room.

Aaron Rodgers often catches vitriol from the public eye. However, his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates continue to paint a different picture, one that says the four-time MVP is a positive influence for them. Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson believes that Rodgers is often misunderstood by people who do not known him everyday around the team.

Rodgers represents a symbol of hope for the Steelers. For the quarterback, the organization represents the same.
