Mike Tomlin wonât coach him. But he believes that Aaron Rodgers will return to play quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In his first official capacity as a football analyst for NBC, Tomlin sat down with host Maria Taylor on the networkâs NBA pregame show Sunday tonight to promote his new gig. There, Taylor asked Tomlin who he thinks will play quarterback for the Steelers in 2026.
âMan, if youâve got a gun to my head, Iâd say itâs AR, Aaron,â Tomlin responded. âI just think, being around him for the 12 months Iâm around him, heâs got a love affair with the game of football. And not only the game, but the process. âŠ
âI think he has an addiction to that. And thereâs only one way to feed it. And certainly, he is still capable and in really good shape. I think at the end of the day, heâll play football.â

Tomlin doesnât appear to have any inside information. But as far as educated guesses on Rodgersâ future go, his carries some weight. Tomlin coached the Steelers for 19 seasons and spent his last season in Pittsburgh with Rodgers as his quarterback.
And with the NFL Draft in the rearview and no deals done to acquire a veteran quarterback, the Steelers appear to be counting on Rodgersâ return. Pittsburgh selected Penn State quarterback Drew Allar in the third round of last weekâs draft. But Allar appears at this point to be a long-term project in Pittsburgh and not the Steelersâ planned quarterback of 2026.
The leaves veteran backup and second-year reserve on the depth chart with Allar â neither of whom Pittsburgh should be considering as a starter for next season.

But for now, the waiting game continues and appears to hinge on Rodgersâ decision. Rodgers is 42 years old with 21 seasons of NFL experience. Now is a reasonable time for him to call it a career.
But the Steelers appear to be banking on what Tomlin speculated Sunday: that Rodgers loves the game too much to quit now while he still has gas in the tank and will return to play with his former Packers coach Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh.
