Mason Rudolph Sends Goodbye to Steelers
PITTSBURGH -- Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph is about to begin his journey with the Tennessee Titans, signing a one-year deal to head south this offseason. Before he begins his seventh NFL season and puts on a new helmet for the first time since being drafted, he sent his goodbye to the organization and fans of Pittsburgh.
Posting on Instagram, Rudolph sent his farewell to the Rooney family, his teammates and coaches and all of the Steelers fans who have supported him during his time in Pittsburgh.
"For the past 6 years, it has been a privilege to be part of the Pittsburgh community and represent the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"To my teammates, coaches, staff, Art Rooney, the Rooney family, Thomas Tull, Larry Paul, and the rest of the Steelers organization: Thank you for changing my life forever six years ago when you gave me the opportunity to wear the Black & Gold.
"To the fans—your love and passion for the team is what makes it so special to play here. I will never forget playing in front of Yinz one final time this past December. All the Best. MR," Rudolph wrote.
Rudolph was the team's third-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and despite a rocky start to his career, he finished as a hero, leading the team to the playoffs this past season and looking like the first answer at quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger's retirement.
It's unknown if he'll get an opportunity to compete for the starting job with the Titans, but after the showing he had in his final four games with the Steelers, he may be on the rise of his NFL career.
The Steelers moved on to Russell Wilson and eventually Justin Fields, completely changing their quarterback room, but considered Rudolph as an option - and at times their top option - most of the offseason.
He now begins his campaign with just his second NFL team, saying goodbye to the city that drafted him six years ago.
