The Pittsburgh Steelers surprised a few people this past weekend when they selected former Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph in the third-round of the 2018 NFL Draft and starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was one of them. Roethlisberger, who was interviewed Friday morning on 93.7 the Fan, let it be known that he was indeed surprised that the Steelers drafted Rudolph in the third-round even though he made an early offseason commitment to playing at least three more seasons.
“Yeah, I told them right away so it wasn’t like it was a big surprise,” Roethlisberger said about him telling the team immediately after the 2017 season had ended that he wants to play at least three more seasons if he can stay healthy.
