Mason Rudolph is sitting pretty with a 4-2 record as the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and there is a vague suspicion he will join Baker Mayfield of the Browns and Lamar Jackson of the Ravens as legitimate starters in the AFC North, via the Class of 2018 NFL Draft.
Rudolph is starting because of a severe elbow injury by mastodon future Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger which required surgery. Though the Steelers have not released detailed medical information on the big man, the buzz is that the surgery was not as severe as Tommy John surgery, and a full recovery is expected.
