In an appearance on the NFL Network's "Path to the Draft," Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Mason Rudolph said he understood Ben Roethlisberger's comments after the veteran expressed surprise at the team drafting a QB this offseason (h/t Lauren Kirschman of PennLive.com).
Rudolph said:
"If I was Ben, I'd probably say the same thing. He's a competitor. Obviously, he has a lot of confidence in himself, like I do. He's going to be a future Hall of Famer and I would expect him to say that. I'm just looking forward to going in there and learning the system, competing and raising my level of play.
