Aaron Rodgers seems to be taking a subtle jab at Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson after he was benched in favor of Adam Thielen during their recent win against the Baltimore Ravens. When asked about his team's performance, Rodgers praised the chemistry between Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Adam Thielen, suggesting that they provided an extra level of professionalism compared to other receivers on the team.
Rodgers' comments have led many to interpret that he was targeting Wilson specifically, who has struggled to find consistency throughout the season. The Steelers drafted Wilson in the third round of last year's NFL Draft, but his rookie campaign was marred by injuries, and he played a limited role this season before being healthy-scratched for Sunday's game.
While Rodgers denied taking a direct shot at Wilson, it's clear that there's an undercurrent of tension between them. Head coach Mike Tomlin has also expressed skepticism about Wilson in the past, which may have contributed to his demotion from the active roster.

. Like, yeah, congrats on playin a limited role this season, Roman! 
But seriously, it's pretty sus that Rodgers would give Adam Thielen all the praise and Marquez Valdes-Scantling some love when Wilson's been struggling to even get minutes on the field 
. I mean, maybe it's just Rodgers tryin' to stay out of trouble, but if I'm a Steeler fan, I'd be like "what's good with Rodgers and Tomlin? They're always holdin' someone back" 
.
he's been through some injuries and i guess it's tough to bounce back when you're not getting a lot of playing time 
but on the other hand, adam thielen seems like an awesome teammate & player 
marquez valdes-scantling must be doing something right to get those two geling so well 
maybe wilson just needs some more time to find his footing 
. The way Rodgers is talking about Valdes-Scantling and Thielen, it sounds like he's implying that Wilson just isn't on the same level 
. And honestly, I get why Wilson would be frustrated - getting benched for a young rookie who's suddenly clicking with his QB 
. The thing is, Rodgers seems to be playing it cool, but at the same time, you can sense some tension between them 
. Maybe Tomlin's comments about Wilson didn't help matters either 
. Either way, this whole situation feels like a mess 
️.
, but you can tell he's got something brewing under the surface 
. I mean, come on, praising Marquez and Adam while basically ignoring Roman? That doesn't seem like a coincidence 
. And don't even get me started on Mike Tomlin, dude's been saying some stuff about Wilson in the past... it's all pretty fishy 
. Rodgers is good at deflecting blame, but I think he's just trying to send a message 
. The question is, what exactly does he want to say?
