Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin are two huge personalities, but Charlie Batch isn’t worried about how they’ll coexist in Pittsburgh — the ex-Steelers QB tells TMZ Sports he believes the guys are actually a great match for one another.
Rodgers, of course, agreed on Thursday to join Tomlin’s Steelers squad for 2025-26 … and when Batch sat down with us on Friday to break down the move — he made it clear, he likes it.
In fact, he told us he’s been anticipating the signing for months … calling it “the worst-kept secret ever.”
As for how a Rodgers and Tomlin cocktail will go down — Batch didn’t seem worried about their mixing at all … explaining he thinks it’s “a good fit.”
He reminded us Tomlin has dealt with aging Hall of Fame quarterbacks before — noting the head coach managed Ben Roethlisbergerwell in his final years.
Batch said, too, that while there are some holes on the Steelers’ roster still … adding Rodgers means he’s expecting the team to now compete for a deep run in the playoffs.
“There’s going to be a sense of urgency here,” the former signal-caller said. “Ultimately, when you are playing in Pittsburgh, the goal is not to win the division, the goal is to win a Super Bowl. Every single year.”
“And that’s not going to change.”
