Does Mason Rudolph care if you leave his name out of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback competition. Probably not—as long as the coaching staff and front office aren’t doing the same. The fifth-year veteran is approaching this year, following the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, as his opportunity to finally emerge as a starting quarterback in the NFL. And he believes his chance is legitimate this year.
“I can’t control what goes on on the second floor, but I’ve been told that”, he told reporters yesterday during the first OTA session, via video of his media session on the team’s website, when asked if he believes he has a legitimate shot to compete to be the starter.
