The Pittsburgh Steelers believe that they have a couple of capable backup quarterbacks on their roster—or at least they believe they are in the process of discovering whether or not that is the case. While Joshua Dobbs was the backup in 2018, Randy Fichtner acknowledged that his lone extended opportunity to play left much to be desired.
This year, he has renewed his competition with Mason Rudolph, last year’s third-round pick, who served as the number three quarterback during his rookie season. Rudolph got off to a better start to training camp, but as I talked about earlier today, has trailed off in recent weeks and needs to start picking things back up in the first preseason game.
