‘Taking Years Off Their Lives:’ Former NFL Player Says Steelers Doing Stars Disservice If Rudolph Starts

The Pittsburgh Steelers have plenty of quality veterans on the defense. From Cam Heyward, to Darius Slay, T.J. Watt, and Minkah Fitzpatrick, the Steelers have a good identity on that side of the ball. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the offense. They’ve shuffled around with veteran quarterbacks the last two offseasons. Yet, the Steelers’ current starting quarterback would be Mason Rudolph.

ESPN’s Booger McFarland thinks they aren’t putting in enough effort to compete on the offensive side of the ball, and he questions why some of the Steelers’ veterans should even ‘show up.’

“They are taking years off the lives of guys who are potential Hall of Fame players,” McFarland said on NFL Live on Wednesday.
