PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh has had an amazing lineage of professional quarterbacks. The legendary Johnny Unitas was once Steelers property. Hall of Famer Len Dawson played here. Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger became the franchise's winningest quarterbacks. Bobby Layne, Bubby Brister and Kordell Stewart were among football's colorful characters. There were too many forgettable quarterbacks to mention.
There has been only one Mason Rudolph.
I have suggested they make a country and western song about Rudolph's time here. His story is filled with drama and heartbreak. I even would say it has been something of a tragedy from a football standpoint.
