Kyle Van Noy Reflects on NFL Journey and Faces Aaron Rodgers with Ravens
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy appeared on NFL Network’s "The Insiders" Monday, where he discussed his impressive performance over the past two seasons, including 21.5 sacks, and his commitment to mentoring younger players. However, a highlight of the conversation was his playful jab at new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Van Noy recalled a memorable encounter with Rodgers during his time in Detroit, specifically a game where the defensive coordinator opted for Cover 0 against the seasoned quarterback. Rodgers swiftly capitalized, throwing a touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson, and playfully patted Van Noy on the back, quipping, “Nice try.” Van Noy humorously acknowledged that he still seeks retribution for that moment.
While he holds a grudge, Van Noy respects Rodgers’ legacy, noting his impressive stats and contribution to the game as a four-time MVP. As he prepares to face Rodgers in Week 4, he recognized the Steelers’ new asset as pivotal for their ambitions this season. In his second year with the Ravens, Van Noy has maintained an outstanding average of nine tackles per game, underscoring his crucial role in Baltimore’s defense.
