Football is so close you can taste it.
The NFL preseason gets started this week, and for one former Cowboy it’s about more than just an exhibition.
We’ll get our first taste of preseason football on Friday night when the annual Hall of Fame game pits the Steelers against the Cowboys at Tom Benson Stadium in Canton, Ohio. Mason Rudolph has earned the starting nod.
He enters Year 4 with Pittsburgh and his third as Ben Roethlisberger’s backup. Big Ben will sit out of Friday’s exhibition giving Rudolph the chance to reinforce his position among the Steelers depth chart.
