Cam Heyward Says Aaron Rodgers Has ‘Bought In’ After Previously Calling Out the QB’s Waiting Game

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive star Cam Heyward has shared new thoughts about veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets. Earlier, Heyward publicly criticized Rodgers for what he described as a “waiting game” — referring to Rodgers’ delayed decisions about returning to play after injury, which sparked questions about his true commitment to the team.

However, in a recent interview, Heyward admitted his perspective has changed. “Aaron Rodgers has really bought in and committed himself to the team,” Heyward said. “You can see his focus and effort both during practice and off the field.”

Heyward’s comments reflect the positive atmosphere currently surrounding the Jets. After months of recovery from an Achilles injury, Rodgers has returned with renewed energy, ready to take on the challenges of the 2025 NFL season alongside his teammates.

With his latest actions, Aaron Rodgers appears to have silenced the doubts about his earlier hesitation, proving once again that he remains one of the league’s most formidable quarterbacks.
