Months after writing online that the Steelers should leave veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers "at the retirement home," Pittsburgh safety DeShon Elliott has apologized.

“I'm a troll," Eliott told reporters during media availability at camp this weekend, referring to his February comment. "He's an All-Pro and he's a GOAT. He's going to be a gold jacket guy one day. Honestly, when he got here, we communicated, we talked, he's a great person and a great football player, so [whatever] the media's put out there is B.S. I respect him a lot. I told him that I respect him, and I apologized to him for the things I was saying about him. Honestly, he's a great man and he has a great heart, so I appreciate him and he's funny as hell."
