Quarterback Mason Rudolph is emerging as a strong contender to lead the team in the upcoming NFL season. His rising profile received a significant boost when he appeared alongside U.S. President Donald Trump, who publicly praised Rudolph by calling him “handsome” and expressing confidence in his potential by stating the quarterback is “gonna be the guy.”
Meanwhile, the Steelers are awaiting a decision from Aaron Rodgers regarding a proposed one-year, $30 million contract. Rodgers has yet to make a decision, and the team is reportedly willing to wait but acknowledges a “drop-dead date” for his decision, likely around the start of training camp in approximately 55 days. A key upcoming date is the mandatory minicamp from June 10-12.
