Rooney: Steelers 'Feel Good' About Rudolph As Backup QB
The Steelers don't plan to pursue a veteran backup quarterback for next season.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Steelers President Art Rooney II said the team feels good about its quarterback situation heading into next season. The team lost starter Ben Roethlisberger to injury in Week 2 and had to rely on backups Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges as the team battled for a postseason berth.
“We feel good about it,” Rooney II told KDKA’s Bob Pompeani in an exclusive interview. “Obviously, we have to monitor it as the offseason progresses. But for now, we feel good about Ben coming back and playing at a high level next year and Mason being his backup. I don’t think, at this point, we really plan to explore brining in another veteran backup QB.”
