As the Steelers are potentially going through another quarterback shakeup as a result of Kenny Pickett’s latest injury and Mitchell Trubisky’s offensive woes, one Pittsburgh QB may be called up to take the reins—and fans are seemingly asking for him: Mason Rudolph.
Rudolph hasn’t played in a game this season, but after Pickett entered concussion protocol following the team’s 16–14 loss to the Ravens Sunday, a game in which Trubisky tossed three interceptions, Rudolph could be needed to stabilize what’s been an unstable quarterback position in Pittsburgh this season.
It’s not like he’s inexperienced. Rudolph, a third-round draft pick of the Steelers in 2018, has started 10 games, appearing in 17 total. He made eight starts for the Steelers in ‘19 following a season-ending injury to Ben Roethlisberger, leading the Steelers to a 5–3 record in that time.
