Aaron Rodgers didn’t suit up for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first preseason game of the year. That left Mason Rudolph to start the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While Rudolph didn’t play a lot, he got a decent number of reps in, and he performed well. In two drives, Rudolph completed nine of his 10 pass attempts for 84 yards and one touchdown. Darnell Washington caught the touchdown pass from Rudolph, and he recently gave the quarterback a lot of praise.
“I feel like Mason [Rudolph] played great,” Washington said Monday via Pittsburgh’s DSEN on YouTube.
