ESPN’s Adam Schefter Believes Starting Job Is Mitch Trubisky’s To Lose: ‘I Think He Really Shined In OTAs’

In a little under two weeks, the Pittsburgh Steelers will take to Chuck Noll Field at St. Vincent College in Latrobe aiming to shape a promising future for the 2022 version of the team.

There, the Steelers will find themselves dealing with a big competition for the starting job under center between veteran free agent signee Mitch Trubisky, fifth-year quarterback Mason Rudolph, and rookie first-round draft pick Kenny Pickett.

Though the Steelers are pushing it as a true quarterback competition, ESPN’s Adam Schefter — appearing on ESPN’s NFL Live Friday afternoon — reported that from everything he’s heard from those around the organization, Trubisky is the clear front-runner for the starting job, which is his to lose just weeks out from the start of training camp.
