Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin Is Talking To Aaron Rodgers, But He's Comfortable Starting Mason Rudolph

Mike Tomlin is staying in touch with Aaron Rodgers and is comfortable with Mason Rudolph as the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"That's why we brought him back," Tomlin said Monday at the league's annual meetings. "I'm comfortable with that. And we've been there before."

Rudolph was 3-1 for the Steelers in 2023 with the loss coming in a wild-card game against Buffalo. Pittsburgh has a new offensive coordinator since Rudolph last played for the team. The offense had mixed results under Arthur Smith last season.

"Mason is not a kid. He's been around, been in multiple systems and situations," Tomlin said.

Meanwhile, is Tomlin communicating with Rodgers by calling, texting or FaceTiming the four-time NFL MVP?
