Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has held the reputation of being difficult with the media and even teammates throughout his career. But through almost three months with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rodgers has fit in well and not caused any drama with reporters.
However, that doesn’t mean he’s made up with former Steelers safety and ESPN analyst Ryan Clark.
The Super Bowl champion defensive back shared during Meadowlark’s Football America! podcast Friday that he and Rodgers haven’t spoken since the quarterback signed with the Steelers.
Clark said he requested to interview the quarterback for his own podcast, The Pivot. But Rodgers declined the interview.
“I have nothing against dude, he’s fine. I was like, ‘Man, I would love to sit with him.’ I’m apart of the history there. He’s the quarterback with our team now. I actually don’t dislike him. I want to sit with him. Welcome him to Steeler nation, and just kind of have a conversation. I didn’t want to have a conversation about that; I wanted to talk about his career. I have said over and over again, he’s the best quarterback I ever played against,” said Clark, via PennLive.com’s Nick Farabaugh.
Clark added that then during his visit to Steelers practice this summer, the quarterback didn’t speak to him.

Clark didn’t directly address the new Pittsburgh quarterback. But the former safety shared that he said hello to Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and Rodgers at the same time.
According to Clark, Rodgers didn’t respond.
“When we were pulling up to campus, he was talking to Arthur Smith when we were going up the hill. For me, if I truly don’t have an issue with you, I’m going to speak to you. I’m going to say hello. It’s rude not to, in my opinion,” said Clark.
“So he was talking to Arthur Smith. I talked to some of the guys I see coming from the special teams meeting. I roll the window down and I say, ‘What’s up guys.’ Arthur Smith kind of speaks. Aaron Rodgers looks at me and he doesn’t say anything.”
