When Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year, $13.65 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers in June, it surely looked like the end was near. The plan seemed to be how his first season with Mike Tomlin would look like and then decide.

This season, Rodgers reached several notable milestones while helping the Steelers win their first division title in five years.
