Aaron Rodgers discusses the Pittsburgh Steelers roster decision on quarterbacks

The Pittsburgh Steelers maintained four quarterbacks on their active roster following the conclusion of the preseason. Aaron Rodgers noted his surprise at the decision, stating he had not previously experienced a team keeping four signal callers. The Pittsburgh roster includes veteran Mason Rudolph, second-year player Will Howard, and rookie Drew Allar. Rodgers cited his familiarity with Howard and Allar during his appearance on the Not Just Football podcast with Cam Heyward. The veteran quarterback praised Rudolph for his performance against the Green Bay Packers, as well as the development shown by both Howard and Allar throughout the training camp period. The Pittsburgh front office opted for depth at the position rather than releasing players to trim the roster size down to the more common two or three active quarterbacks.
