"I happen to think a really good quarterback is a man named Mason Rudolph — and I think he's going to get a big shot," Donald Trump said. "He's tall, he's handsome, got a great arm, and I have a feeling he's gonna be the (Steelers) guy.

At OTAs, Steelers QB Mason Rudolph addressed fan backlash over his appearance at President Donald Trump's rally in Pittsburgh.

Donald Trump held a rally at West Mifflin, a borough 11 miles south of Pittsburgh, last Friday. Joining him on stage were Mason Rudolph, special teams captain Miles Killebrew and former fan favorite and running back Rocky Bleier. The latter presented Trump with a Steelers jersey with the No. 47, as Trump is the nation’s 47th president.
