Sharing a dorm room with Aaron Rodgers apparently means not solely worrying about conspiracy theories and ayahuasca chatter, however strict bathroom guidelines.
Coaching camp roommate DK Metcalf revealed the brand new Steelers quarterback set a rule relating to when both occasion is allowed to flush the bathroom at night time.
“The toilet is super loud,” Metcalf mentioned to Yahoo Sports activities on Thursday. “So he was like, ‘Yeah, at night, if we got to piss, just don’t flush the toilet.’ I was like, ‘All right, bet.’”
Metcalf added that he texted Rodgers at 9:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday to ask whether or not the quarterback was nonetheless awake to study if he might flush.
Rodgers, 41, had not but mentioned lights out.
“All right, bet,” Metcalf instructed Yahoo he responded in a textual content, “I’m about to flush the toilet.”
The weird bathroom guidelines come into play because the Steelers host their coaching camp at Saint Vincent School in Latrobe, Pa.
Staying within the dorms requires the gamers to bunk up, and the Steelers have paired their new star receiver and their new legendary quarterback.
Metcalf, who joined the Steelers by way of an offseason commerce from the Seahawks, truly didn’t count on he would have a roomate.
“He knocked on my door and I thought it was the front door and it was actually my bathroom door, because we share a bathroom,” Metcalf mentioned. “He was like, ‘Oh, man, I was hoping it was you.’ I used to be like, ‘Ah, did not think I was going to have a roommate but glad to see you too, Aaron.’
“It was a good experience just to see his face and know we could continue conversations outside the locker room.’”
Growing that rapport might be key for the 2, particularly since Rodgers is thought for being moderately robust on his receivers.
The 2 already handled a bumpy begin when Rodgers’ first coaching camp cross, meant for Metcalf, was intercepted.
“DK and I have worked out in the offseason together, got a good relationship,” Rodgers mentioned earlier this week. “We talked about a lot of football stuff. We FaceTime, we texted during the offseason after many camps, so we’ve got a good relationship. It’s going to just keep on growing.”
Whereas Metcalf adjusts to Rodgers’ bathroom guidelines, the quarterback is studying find out how to deal with Metcalf’s hobbies.
Stated Metcalf: “He gets to listen to a lot of my music taste or hear me yell at the video games sometimes, but, nah, it’s going to be fun having him across the hall from me.”
