Sharpe predicts that if Aaron Rodgers returns for another season it will be with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he doesn't see the Steelers as Super Bowl favorites; he also expects Saquon Barkley not to repeat last season's production and thinks a quarterback will break Peyton Manning's single-season passing yardage record once an 18-game schedule arrives.
