Aaron Rodgers is apparently a big fan of uninterrupted sleep and it has led to a strange rule for his roommate, DK Metcalf.
The two share a dormitory separated by a shared bathroom at Saint Vincent College for Pittsburgh Steelers Training camp that began earlier this week. And although mating is a way for the two to build a connection from the field, it makes provisions.

“The toilet is super loud,” Metcalf told Yahoo Sports Thursday. “So [Rodgers] Was like ‘Yes, at night, if we got to P — just don’t rinse the restroom.’ I was like ‘okay, bet.’ “

Metcalf told Outlet who on Wednesday night sent Rodgers a text that said, “You were asleep yet?” After feeling the urge. Rodgers replied that he was still awake. Then Metcalf rinsed away.
“Okay, inserted,” he remembered his text, “I’m about to flush the toilet.”
Despite the bathroom rules, Rodgers seems to enjoy dormitory.

Aaron Rodgers withdraws in opening Steeler’s training camp with a choice: ‘I also throw some touchdowns’
“I’m on the first floor here, which is a good start,” he said, talking to journalists after exercise on Thursday. “I got DK as my suit, so we share a toilet and a shower. But I love this idea, this opportunity to be here and stay here and connect with the guys.”
The four-time league MVP said he was relieved to be paired with Metcalf, adding that he “secretly hoped it wasn’t a big Lineman or something, maybe someone interested in their hygiene a little.”
Rodgers opened training camp this week with an eavesdropping on his first passport, but the veteran NFL player remained optimistic about the team’s chances this season.

“There will be choices, for sure. I will try to fit certain things in. You have to deal with some sweat on the ball from time to time. So it will be a good challenge for me to throw this warmth every single day. I look forward to it, but I will throw some choices. But I will throw some touchdowns too.”
Rodgers added that there are about 10 to 12 teams that have a “legitimate” chance of winning the Super Bowl, and he thinks – at least “on paper” – that Steelers is one of them.
