Pro Football Focus isn’t keen on the idea of Mason Rudolph lobbing downfield passes to DK Metcalf. In its list ranking the NFL’s top quarterback-receiver duos, the Pittsburgh Steelers brought up the rear. A slotting that could change if and when Aaron Rodgers signs but for now, the Steelers’ pairing is in the basement.
“Metcalf went from coast to coast, moving from Seattle to Pittsburgh this offseason,” wrote author Trevor Sikkema. “We’re not sure who the Steelers’ QB1 will be, but Mason Rudolph, who recorded 61.5 (2024) and 53.5 (2019) PFF passing grades in the two seasons where he has taken more than 200 dropbacks, is currently slated to assume that title.
