However, the current ESPN analyst and former Steeler’s defensive back suggested that he reached a new level of respect for Rodgers after the interaction.
“It’s cool though. It strangely made me respect him. I have nothing against guy, he’s doing well. I was like ‘man I would very much like to sit with him.’ I’m part of the story there.

Clark said he intended to expand some hospitality to Rodgers, but his greeting was ignored.
“I would sit with him, welcome him to the Steeler Nation and just have a conversation … he was talking to [Steelers offensive coordinator] Arthur Smith. I talked to some of the guys I see coming from the special team meeting. I roll the window down and I say, ‘What are the guys.’ Arthur Smith speaks kind of. Aaron Rodgers looks at me and he doesn’t say anything. “

“I respected it because he was like” I don’t get false, “Clark noted.” For whatever he feels or whatever it is, he is … not someone that I fool in that way and I don’t want to false it. And I think it sets the tone that you and I don’t speak. “
Clark was one of the free -speaking critics of Rodgers’ arrival in Pittsburgh. In June, Clark argued that Rodgers, who landed a one-year deal with Steelers, should be considered the “worst-case scenario” for the established NFL franchise.

“This is the worst case for Pittsburgh Steelers fans. It continues to keep you attached in mediocrity,” Clark said. “Will this team be better? Have they gotten better in the Quarterback room? Absolutely. Will they fight for the championship that Pittsburgh Steelers -men and fans and organization think are the standard? No, they won’t. … they are fighting for a Wild Card site. They will probably be home week one of the playoffs and be looking for a franchise -quarterback.”
Rodgers did not appear in any of the Steelers’ three trials. Pittsburgh opens the regular season on September 7 against the New York Jets.
