The Pittsburgh Steelers have shown a lot of interest in Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph this offseason. They met with the quarterback at the NFL Scouting Combine, and spent some extra time with him at the Oklahoma State Pro Day recently.
This isn’t to suggest the Steelers are planning on drafting the quarterback in the upcoming draft, but it also means they are doing their homework on the skill position as a possibility when their number is called in the selection process.
It made me go back and look at the transcript of Rudolph’s interview with the media at the Combine, transcribed by Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle, and he talked about how he compares himself to none other than Ben Roethlisberger.
