After eight years of being the backup, Rudolph seemed to have a legitimate chance of finally being the starter until Rodgers came along. But that hasn\u2019t caused any hard feelings. In fact, Rudolph seems borderline giddy to be working with the future Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to temper my warmth because I had a buddy send me a video and said, \u2018Bro, your eyes are glazing over talking about Aaron Rodgers,&#8217;\u201d Rudolph told <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/937theFan\/status\/1951745159936266570\">93.7 The Fan<\/a> after practice on Saturday. \u201cIt\u2019s been great. He\u2019s been very helpful and just very friendly and open to questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If there is one player on the team who has a reason to feel slighted by the addition of Rodgers, it would be Rudolph. Yet here he is, as excited as anybody.<\/p>\n<p>The media spent most of the offseason talking up how big of a locker room issue Rodgers can be and how his personality would need to be reined in by Mike Tomlin. Things can change during the season when the stakes are higher and tensions build up, but Rodgers has been just another guy in the dorms at training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Team president Art Rooney II said he\u2019s most impressed by the way Rodgers has <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2025\/08\/teammates-love-him-aaron-rodgers-fitting-right-in-with-steelers-art-rooney-ii-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handled himself off the field<\/a> in his brief time with the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has got a great social awareness,\u201d Rudolph said. \u201cHe\u2019s not trying to dominate the meeting or step on coaches\u2019 toes, but when he\u2019s got a nugget of wisdom, he is absolutely gonna speak up in a respectful way and communicate that to the room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t sound like the ego standoff between Tomlin and Rodgers that many television analysts projected. It sounds like an ideal setup for productive conversations and better outcomes for the team.<\/p>\n<p>The vibes around the team are as high as ever. Now, it\u2019s up to the Steelers to make sure that translates onto the field so they can avoid any drama in the middle of the season. If it\u2019s anything like the offseason, the media will be ready to pounce on Rodgers the first opportunity they get.<\/p>\n<p>After signing, Rodgers <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2025\/06\/aaron-rodgers-addressed-locker-room-told-team-hes-all-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told the team that he\u2019s all-in<\/a> and his goal is to share his wealth of knowledge with whoever will listen.<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers has approached the situation with nothing but a humble attitude, and Rudolph\u2019s obvious admiration for him speaks to that, perhaps more than anything else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Before Aaron Rodgers finally made up his mind, the media hype was building for Mason Rudolph, who was&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":114618,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[21210,2390,72036,1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-114617","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-93-7-the-fan","9":"tag-aaron-rodgers","10":"tag-mason-rudolph","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114962706265523653","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
