Mason Rudolph is officially a member of the Steelers. On Wednesday, the Steelers agreed to terms with the third-round quarterback on his rookie deal. 
Rookie contracts are mostly a formality these days, but contracts for third-round picks tend to be a bit trickier thanks to flexibility regarding offset language. Regardless, the Steelers hammered out their deal with the Oklahoma State well in advance of mandatory training camp sessions.
The Steelers are hopeful that Rudolph can develop into their quarterback of the future after Ben Roethlisberger retires. For his part, Roethlisberger isn’t necessarily enthused about the team selecting a QB high in the draft this year.
“I was surprised when they took a quarterback because I thought that maybe in the third round, you know you can get some really good football players that can help this team now,” Roethlisberger said. “Nothing against Mason; I think he’s a great football player. I don’t know him personally, but I’m sure he’s a great kid. I just don’t know how backing up or being a third [string] — well, who knows where he’s going to fall on the depth chart — helps us win now.”
For now, Rudolph projects as the team’s No. 3 QB, behind Big Ben and Landry Jones. Last year’s fourth round pick Joshua Dobbs is also fighting for a spot on the roster.
The deal with Rudolph leaves first-round pick Terrell Edmunds as the last remaining unsigned Steelers draft selection.
Josh Dobbs is one of the most distinctive looking people I have ever seen. That alone should get him a roster spot.
And people think wide receivers are prima donnas. If star quarterbacks weren’t so darn useful on the field, you’d just want to punch most of them in the nose.
Their Union is weak- no reason you can’t.
LOL!
