Mason Rudolph Expresses Jealousy Over Young Quarterback Development
Mason Rudolph, a backup quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers since 2018, has voiced his admiration for the quarterback development program implemented by head coach Mike McCarthy. He specifically mentioned the progress of younger quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar.
McCarthy announced that Howard and Allar will participate in the upcoming preseason game against the Jets, allowing Rudolph and starter Aaron Rodgers to observe from the sidelines. Rudolph acknowledged the fanbase's desire for a franchise quarterback and expressed his support for the young players, stating he feels envious of the structure and program that McCarthy has established.
While some may interpret his comments as a critique of former coach Mike Tomlin, Rudolph clarified that he intended to commend McCarthy and the new coaching staff for their efforts. The upcoming game will provide another opportunity to evaluate the development of Pittsburgh's young quarterbacks.
