Aaron Rodgers credits Mike McCarthy for Mason Rudolph quarterback improvement

Aaron Rodgers says Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph significantly improved his fundamental mechanics under head coach Mike McCarthy. During a recent episode of the podcast Not Just Football with Cam Heyward, Rodgers noted that Rudolph spent the offseason focusing on his footwork and timing through McCarthy’s quarterback school. This training, overseen by quarterbacks coach Tom Arth, helped Rudolph secure the primary backup role. Rudolph demonstrated his progress during a preseason game against Green Bay by completing 10 of 11 passing attempts. Rodgers remarked that such mechanical growth is atypical for an eight-year veteran. The Steelers opted to carry four signal-callers on the active roster, but Rudolph’s performance solidified his position in the depth chart. McCarthy previously utilized similar fundamental coaching methods with Rodgers and passing game architect Tom Clements during their time together.
