Mason Rudolph 'Jealous' of New Structure for Steelers' Young QBs
Veteran signal caller Mason Rudolph has served several years as a backup quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise.
Mason Rudolph, the Pittsburgh Steelers' veteran backup quarterback, expressed jealousy towards the structure provided to the team's young quarterbacks this season. Despite serving as a backup for several years, including 2026, Rudolph acknowledged that the young signal callers have a more favorable situation. Randolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar, the second-year pro and third-round rookie respectively, are the quarterbacks he has to compete with.
Rudolph expressed his awareness of the fanbase's desire for a franchise quarterback and their hope for a hopeful future beyond this year. He praised the structure and QB-grooming system implemented by coach McCarthy, expressing his confidence in the young quarterbacks' progress. Rudolph, Howard and Allar all participated in the Steelers' preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers last week.
However, only Howard and Allar will be playing in Friday night's preseason game against the New York Jets, head coach Mike McCarthy announced. The game is set to kick off at 7 p.m. ET.
