Bruce Gradkowski: Mitch Trubisky’s Athleticism Reason Enough To Keep Him As Backup After Mason Rudolph’s Return

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and current St. Louis Battlehawks offensive coordinator Bruce Gradkowski appeared on 93.7 The Fan’s PM Show on Wednesday afternoon to talk about the Steelers signing XFL wide receiver Hakeem Butler, who starred for the Battlehawks this season.

Later in the interview, he was asked about the possibility of trading backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky with Mason Rudolph now back in the fold. While Gradkowski acknowledged it’s a possibility, he thinks Trubisky is a good fit with the Steelers due to his athleticism.

“Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, you know that relationship there, if it’s pretty strong, I don’t think I wanna break that up,” Gradkowski told PM Show co-hosts Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller.
