Mason Rudolph Responds to Ben Roethlisberger: 'I'd Probably Say the Same Thing'

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.
