Colbert On Backup QB Competition: ‘Obviously, Landry’s Our Number Two’

In case you’re wondering how the competition is going at the backup quarterback positions so far during the Pittsburgh Steelers 2018 training camp, it’s going just like you should have thought it would way before the team even reported to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe over a week ago. In short, Landry Jones is still the backup behind starter Ben Roethlisberger with Joshua Dobbs and rookie Mason Rudolph lined up behind those two, respectively.

During a morning interview a few days ago on 93.7 The Fan, Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert was essentially asked if Jones is currently having to battle Rudolph, the team’s first of two third-round draft picks this year, for the right to be the backup to Roethlisberger by the time the 2018 season gets underway.
