It’s hard to come into the NFL as a player of pedigree without a certain level of self-assurance. You don’t make it this far without believing in yourself. But to expect to smooth sailing when that’s what you’ve been used to throughout your career can be just a touch naïve. Pittsburgh Steelers QB Mason Rudolph recognizes that now, which today makes him grateful for the tribulations of his 2019 season.
“When you’re going through it, everything from being thrown in and then getting knocked unconscious for a bit and some adversity later in the year in Cleveland and then being benched, it’s no fun”, he told reporters yesterday, via the team’s website.
