Mason Rudolph is proof you can never have too many heirs to the throne of a franchise QB

I don’t know much, but I do know this year’s Steelers' preseason action is going to be a lot more exciting than most.

Why?

With Mason Rudolph, the Oklahoma State quarterback the Steelers selected on Friday night with their first of two third-round picks in the 2018 NFL Draft, now officially in the fold, there won’t be the annual “camp arm” stepping in in the fourth quarter to act as my warm milk by putting me to sleep early.

Rudolph will now join backup quarterback (and opposite of fan favorite) Landry Jones and third-string quarterback (and last year’s Mason Rudolph, after coming to town as a fourth-round pick out of Tennessee) Joshua Dobbs as this summer’s trio of passers who will make the bulk of the reads (and, let’s face it, mistakes) during preseason games, while Ben Roethlisberger stands on the sidelines with that darn towel around his neck.
