Mason Rudolph, quarterback for the Steelers, spoke on the reported free agency situation surrounding Aaron Rodgers, reaffirming his focus on his own performance rather than external distractions. “That’s nothing new to me,” he mentioned, acknowledging the constant buzz in the NFL. After signing a two-year deal with the Steelers earlier this year, Rudolph considers himself well-prepared, regardless of the team’s pursuit of other quarterbacks like Rodgers or Kirk Cousins.

Rudolph has spent the previous six seasons behind Ben Roethlisberger, during which he made a total of 13 starts and compiled a record of 8-4-1. With his past experience, he is utilizing the current offseason activities to further his development.

Rudolph emphasized his dedication to the team: “I do nothing but be the best I can be and help our team get better this spring.” He acknowledged Steelers owner Art Rooney II’s recent remarks about waiting a bit longer for Rodgers’ decision, but remains committed to his responsibilities, regardless of the franchise’s moves.
