The Pittsburgh Steelers report to the South Side on Tuesday for the first time together with these team members, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers, as the team's mandatory mini-camp kicks off.

Rodgers will speak with reporters for the first time after practice.

He was not on the field for organized team activities over the past couple of weeks as he remained unsigned, but he's in line to get three days of work with his new team before the Steelers break before training camp.

As that work develops with the offense, much will be made about how much control Rodgers will have of the offense as the team's newest player.

Rodgers officially signs his contract

Rodgers was in the Steelers' facility on Saturday and signed a one-year, $13.56 million contract that includes $10 million guaranteed along with incentives. 

Rodgers' arrival is something that has his new teammates excited about what's to come.

"Man, I think, like I've heard my other teammates say, we're excited that we have another guy to join the team, join the mission, join the cause. Obviously, he's a legend in his own right. His pedigree speaks for itself," said offensive lineman Calvin Anderson.

Rodgers' signing also has many Steelers fans excited, so much so that his jersey was sold out at the Steelers team store as of Tuesday morning.
