The news that was reported yesterday has become official today. The Pittsburgh Steelers are officially bringing back quarterback Mason Rudolph for another season; the pact is a one year deal.
And if you're not a fan of the move, you may want to take a look at the recent comments made by former Steelers quarterback and current offensive coordinator of the XFL’s St. Louis Battlehawks Bruce Gradkowski.
“I think this is mutually beneficial for both parties,” Gradkowski told 93.7 PM show hosts Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller. “Mason tested the waters, and you see, the grass isn’t always greener. But he also realizes, ‘Look, I can go back, I know the offense, I can help, the coaches know me, they know my work ethic, they know what I bring and at the same time I know them as well.’ This can be a humbling experience for him to understand ‘I’ll go on and play my role now. I understand Kenny Pickett’s the guy, I’m going to help him the best I can.’ I do think this is an okay move for the Steelers in a sense because he knows what the expectations are in Pittsburgh, he knows the offense, he’s been around Matt Canada and Kenny Pickett, and to be a third string guy, to go in there and compete I think that’s a good move.”
Rudolph has thrown 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions during his career that includes a 61.5% completion percentage.
