Behind the Steel Curtain
At least one Steelers receiver is comfortable with Rudolph
The seemingly never-ending saga of Aaron Rodgers maybe-he-will-maybe-he-won’t sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers continues as Pittsburgh goes through OTAs. And while everyone’s focus remains on wondering when Rodgers will show up, the Steelers are worried about who is currently there.
Most notably, the Steelers are focused on their current quarterback Mason Rudolph. The veteran backup returned to Pittsburgh after one season with the Tennessee Titans, where he appeared in eight games, throwing nine touchdowns and nine interceptions. The last time Rudolph was in a Steelers uniform, he led the team to three consecutive wins and an improbable playoff berth. And while he has yet to catch an in-game pass from the Oklahoma State product, wide receiver Roman Wilson is on board with his new quarterback.
“He’s an elite quarterback, really locked in and bought in,” Wilson told Jason Mackey. “Everyone likes him a lot. He’s a good dude.”
While it’s still heavily expected that Rodgers will be a Steeler, Rudolph’s teammates seem very comfortable with him being the guy under center.
