Aaron Rodgers is already stirring up drama in Pittsburgh, this time getting called out by a former teammate over his public criticism of Roman Wilson. It’s a classic Rodgers move, and it’s got his old Green Bay Packers teammate, Greg Jennings, sounding off big time.
Rodgers’ ‘Repeat Mistake’ Comments Spark Firestorm
On a recent episode of FS1’s *First Things First*, Jennings didn’t hold back. He specifically took aim at Rodgers for comments he made about Roman Wilson, saying the receiver made a “repeat mistake” at practice. Jennings made it clear he’s “never liked this” approach. He pointed out that Rodgers isn’t doing this to veterans like DK (a player who is *not* on the Steelers, but was mentioned by Jennings in the source as a comparison) or Davante Adams. For Jennings, these are things that can be resolved internally. He understands Rodgers talked glowingly about Roman at other times, but he knows Wilson is listening. To hear “that’s the second time” immediately feels like a reprimand, especially when the first instance was never public. Jennings summed up his long-standing issue with Rodgers with a sharp question: “do you ever do anything wrong?”
A Pattern Emerges for the Veteran QB
This isn’t new territory for Rodgers. He’s become pretty notorious for calling out teammates publicly. Remember the “red line” incident with Mike Williams back when Rodgers was with the New York Jets? It’s that kind of leadership style that rubs some people the wrong way, and Jennings is clearly one of them. For Roman Wilson, who’s heading into a pivotal Year 3, this kind of spotlight could go either way. He’s expected to play a huge role in Pittsburgh’s Mike McCarthy-led offense. Hopefully, Rodgers’ comments will light a fire under Wilson and motivate him, rather than just piling on the pressure.
