Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers Lands Outside PFF's Top 20 for 2026

Rodgers ranks outside PFF's top 20 QBs

PFF's 2026 quarterback rankings landed with a jolt for Pittsburgh fans: Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers came in outside the top 20. For a signal-caller who has long carried a marquee reputation, a ranking that leaves him out of the league's top tier is a notable data point heading into the season.

Treat Pittsburgh as a matchup-dependent play rather than a set-it-and-forget-it lock, and lean on the actual weekly spread before committing.
