Schrager: In Year Of Backup Quarterback, It Might Be Mason Rudolph’s Time To Shine

Backup quarterbacks have dominated the NFL news cycle all season. Earlier this season, it was all about Josh Dobbs. Now, it’s all about Jake Browning and Tommy DeVito (who might not be as popular if he didn’t look like an extra in The Sopranos). The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first experience with their backup quarterback in Mitch Trubisky didn’t go well. But in what NFL analyst Peter Schrager called “the year of the backup quarterback,” why not try again with Kenny Pickett potentially sidelined with an ankle injury? On Good Morning Football, Schrager said he’s not ready to write the Steelers off and Mason Rudolph could become the next backup quarterback to make some noise in the NFL.
