Trump Endorses Steelers QB Rudolph Amid Rodgers Signing Uncertainty

President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Mason Rudolph as the Pittsburgh Steelers' starting quarterback for the 2025 season during a rally in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, praising Rudolph as "tall," "handsome," and possessing a "great arm." Rudolph, who was brought back to the Steelers after a season with the Tennessee Titans, is currently a backup but is viewed by Trump as a strong candidate to lead the team if Aaron Rodgers does not sign with Pittsburgh. Despite ongoing speculation and rumors linking Rodgers to the Steelers, no official agreement has been reached, leaving the quarterback position uncertain. Rudolph has acknowledged the "constant noise" surrounding the quarterback situation as typical of the NFL and remains focused on helping the team improve. The Steelers also have other quarterback options on the roster, including Will Howard and Skylar Thompson, but Rudolph's experience and Trump's endorsement highlight him as a leading contender. Ultimately, the Steelers' quarterback decision hinges on Rodgers' signing status, with Rudolph poised to step in if Rodgers does not join the team.
