Steelers WR Michael Pittman patiently waiting on Aaron Rodgers’ decision, eager to team up with DK Metcalf

After a respectable tenure in Indianapolis — where the Colts cycled through quarterbacks for most of Pittman’s time there — Pittman is understandably excited for the opportunity to play for McCarthy.

“(Mike McCarthy) just talked about diversifying it more because obviously in Indy, my role in Indy was more that short, intermediate game. I always felt like every single game I was like, ‘I can do more,'” Pittman told Adams. “I would leave games frustrated because I always felt like I had more to offer the team. Just kind of going over that with (McCarthy) and telling him everything I can do and him kind of seeing that and expanding my role and my route tree back to what it was maybe in Year 2 or 3. I’m really just looking forward to that. I don’t want to give up the secret sauce, but having the ability to move around a little bit.”

With Metcalf and Pittman in the lineup, McCarthy will have more tools to utilize. Eventually, he might also welcome the person in charge of throwing passes to them, too, a familiar face McCarthy knows quite well from their 13 seasons spent together in Green Bay.

Pittman, meanwhile, is just ready to play for his new team.

“Like I said, I would love Aaron to come back,” Pittman said. “But honestly, whoever the Steelers pick is the perfect quarterback for me. What I’m looking for is just a quarterback who throws me the football, so I’m pretty easy when it comes to that.”
