Steelers’ Alex Highsmith reveals whether ongoing Aaron Rodgers saga has become a distraction
NY Post
Steelers star pass rusher Alex Highsmith keeps getting asked about the same player, over and over, from peers and friends alike, even though they’re not officially teammates.
The world seemingly just wants to know whether Aaron Rodgers will land with Pittsburgh.
“I just feel like in the locker room and stuff, we’re in there working, and I think that’s just really what it’s about at this point,” Highsmith said earlier this week on NFL Network.
“I know that if he does sign, we’re definitely going to be really excited to have him. We know who he is. He’s a Hall-of-Fame quarterback. He’s one of the best to ever do it. I wouldn’t say it’s a distraction at all, but we all know what type of quarterback he is and what he brings to the table.”
