Ryan Clark and Aaron Rodgers share a story filled with criticism.
The last touch of the Clark-Rodgers saga took place during the recent retired security visit to the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp.
During an appearance in “football America!” Podcast, Clark detailed how the quadruple MVP of the NFL gave it the cold shoulder to the camp. “There were a lot of people I wanted to see myself in the camp. And then there was one [who wasn’t]”Said Clark, with an apparent reference to Rodgers.

However, the current ESPN analyst and the old defensive Steelers backwards suggested that he is reaching a new level of respect for Rodgers after interaction.
“It’s cool, however. It strangely made me respect it. I have nothing against the guy, he is fine. I said to myself:” Dude, I would love to sit with him. “I am part of the story there.

Clark said he intended to extend a certain hospitality to Rodgers, but his greeting was ignored.
“I wanted to sit with him, welcome him to Steeler Nation, and just have a conversation … He spoke to [Steelers offensive coordinator] Arthur Smith. I talked to some of the guys I see from the meeting of special teams. I roll the window down and I say: “What’s new guys”. Arthur Smith speaks in a way. Aaron Rodgers looks at me and he says nothing. “”

“I respected him because he said to me:” I will not be wrong “, noted Clark. “For everything he feels or anything, he is … not someone with whom I am equivalent to this way and I will not simulate it. And I think that has set the tone that you and I do not speak.”
Clark was one of the frank criticisms of the arrival of Rodgers in Pittsburgh. In June, Clark argued that Rodgers won a one -year agreement with the Steelers should be considered the “worst case” for the NFL franchise.

“This is the worst case for fans of Pittsburgh Steelers. He continues to keep you mired in mediocrity,” said Clark. “Will this team be better? Is it improved in the quarter-Arrière room? Absolutely. Will they face this championship that people and fans of Pittsburgh, and the organization, think that it is the norm? No, they will not do it. … They will fight for a joker point. They will probably be at home the first of the eliminatory series and will seek a quarter of a franchise.”
Rodgers did not appear in none of the three Steelers pre-season games. Pittsburgh opens the regular season on September 7 against New York Jets.
