## Resource

Aaron Rodgers’ move to the Steelers has sparked a quiet QB battle behind the scenes: veteran Mason Rudolph vs. rookie Will Howard. Insider Mark Kaboly gives Rudolph an 80% shot to win the backup role, citing Howard’s raw talent but also his lack of NFL seasoning. With Rodgers turning 42, the Steelers may be cautious, but if Howard dominates preseason, the race could tighten—and possibly force tough decisions like trading or releasing Rudolph.
