Varying reports indicated that some players on the Pittsburgh Steelers prefer one quarterback over the other between Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph. Some fear that re-signing Rudolph possesses the potential to create a divided locker room as a consequence. Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette does not share those concerns for one simple reason.
“I think if Kenny Pickett shrinks or wilts under competition like that or in the face of adversity, then they know right then that he’s not the guy for the future”, he told Joe Starkey on 93.7 The Fan. “I don’t think the Steelers should be afraid of any kind of competition for him, whether it’s within the locker room or on the practice field or anything like that”.
