The Steelers selected Rudolph in the third round (76th overall) of the 2018 NFL draft. [22] The Steelers traded their third-round (79th overall) and seventh-round (220th overall) picks to the Seattle Seahawks in order to move up three spots and select Rudolph with the 76th overall pick. [23] Rudolph was the sixth quarterback selected in 2018. [24]
On May 23, 2018, the Steelers signed Rudolph to a four-year, $3.92 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $932,264. [25]
Throughout training camp, Rudolph competed against Landry Jones and Joshua Dobbs for the backup spot behind Ben Roethlisberger. Head coach Mike Tomlin ultimately named Rudolph the third quarterback, as Jones was released. [26] Rudolph did not receive a single snap in the 2018 season. [27]
During the preseason, Rudolph was named the second quarterback behind Ben Roethlisberger, eclipsing Joshua Dobbs after multiple successful preseason performances. [28]
During Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, Rudolph relieved an injured Roethlisberger in the second half and threw for 112 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception as the Steelers narrowly lost 28–26. [29] Following the announcement that Roethlisberger would miss the rest of the season due to season-ending elbow surgery, Rudolph became the Steelers' starting quarterback. [30] Rudolph made his first NFL start in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers. He threw for 174 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the 24–20 road loss. [31] In the next game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Rudolph recorded his first win as a starter with 229 passing yards and two touchdowns in the 27–3 victory. [32] The following week against the Baltimore Ravens, he suffered a concussion after being hit by Ravens safety Earl Thomas and was temporarily knocked unconscious, being relieved by Steelers third-string quarterback Devlin Hodges. [33] Rudolph was cleared from concussion protocol on October 16, 2019. [34] He returned to face the Miami Dolphins and threw for 251 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the 27–14 victory. [35]
In Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns, with eight seconds left in regulation, Rudolph was involved in a brawl with several players from both teams. Rudolph completed a pass to running back Trey Edmunds. Myles Garrett of the Browns then tackled Rudolph late, after the pass had been completed. [36] While the two were entangled on the ground, Rudolph pushed down and away on Garrett's helmet to get him off. Garrett then grabbed at Rudolph's helmet and removed it. When Rudolph ran after Garrett, Garrett struck Rudolph in the head with Rudolph's own helmet. [37] [38] [39] During and after this altercation, additional players came into the fray and further fighting occurred. Rudolph finished with 221 passing yards, a touchdown, and four interceptions as the Steelers lost 21–7. [40] [41] Three players were ejected and later suspended for the incident, particularly Garrett who was suspended for the remainder of the 2019 season. For his role in the scuffle, Rudolph was fined $50,000 by the league. [42] Rudolph later declined to file criminal charges, calling the situation an NFL matter. [43] Garrett claimed that Rudolph used a racial slur in the build-up to the altercation, but the NFL investigation found no evidence to support Garrett's claim. [44]
In the following week against the still-winless Bengals, Rudolph struggled again, throwing for 85 yards and an interception before being benched for Hodges in the third quarter who led the Steelers to a 16–10 comeback victory. [45] [46] Two days later, head coach Mike Tomlin announced that Hodges would remain the starting quarterback for the following week's game against the Browns. [47] During Week 16 against the New York Jets, Rudolph came into the game after struggles from Hodges in the second quarter, but later suffered a shoulder injury and left the game in the fourth quarter. During the game, Rudolph threw for 129 yards and a touchdown. Without Rudolph, the Steelers lost 10–16. [48] It was revealed that he suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation in the shoulder and was placed on injured reserve on December 24, 2019. [49] Overall, he started in eight out of the ten games in which he appeared, recorded 1,765 passing yards, 13 passing touchdowns, nine interceptions, and posted a passer rating of 82.0. [50]
Rudolph was named second string quarterback on the depth chart going into the 2020 season behind Ben Roethlisberger, beating out Joshua Dobbs for the backup role. [51]
During Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys, Rudolph came into the game in the second quarter after Ben Roethlisberger went to the locker room with an ankle injury. [52] Rudolph completed two of three passes for three yards before Roethlisberger came back in the second half. [53] Rudolph also made appearances in relief of Roethlisberger in the 4th quarter of blowout wins against the Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, and Jacksonville Jaguars. [54] [55]
On December 29, 2020, with the Steelers already locking up the AFC North with a record of 12–3, head coach Mike Tomlin announced that Rudolph would start the season finale against the Browns in order to rest Roethlisberger in preparation for the playoffs. [56] In that game, Rudolph completed 22 of 39 pass attempts and threw for 315 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. With the score at 22-24, Rudolph attempted to tie the score by throwing a two point conversion pass to rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool. The pass was incomplete which set up the Browns to run out the clock, ending the game without either team having another scoring play. [51] [57] The road loss saw Rudolph fall to an overall record of 5–4 in games he had started. [58]
Rudolph finished the 2020 season having played in five games, starting in one of them. Rudolph completed 25 of 43 pass attempts for a completion percentage of 58.1. He threw a total of two touchdowns and one interception for 324 yards. [59]
Rudolph signed a one-year contract extension with the Steelers on April 29, 2021. [60] On Week 10 against the Detroit Lions, Rudolph got his first start of the season when Ben Roethlisberger was ruled out with COVID-19. [61] Rudolph threw for 242 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in the 16–16 tie, the first of Rudolph's professional career. [62]
Following the 2021 season, Steelers staff showed confidence in Rudolph. General manager Kevin Colbert stated in the off-season that the team would "build around" Rudolph. [63]
On September 5, 2022, the official Steelers depth chart was released showing Rudolph being listed at second-string quarterback behind Mitchell Trubisky and ahead of rookie Kenny Pickett. The following day, Rudolph was demoted to third-string quarterback with head coach Mike Tomlin citing a "clerical error" in the original depth chart. [64] Throughout the regular season, he was relegated to third-string duties and did not receive a single snap. [65]
Rudolph signed a one-year deal with the Steelers in May 2023 for a guaranteed salary of $1.35 million, taking a $2 million cut from his previous contract with the team. [66] [67] [68]
During the preseason, early reports indicated Rudolph was outperforming Mitchell Trubisky in competition for the backup role. [69] Despite these reports, he was ultimately named third string quarterback yet again, where he would receive one rep per practice for much of the season. [70]
On December 16, Rudolph relieved Mitchell Trubisky in the fourth quarter against the Indianapolis Colts, completing two out of three passes for three yards. Following an injury to Kenny Pickett and poor play by Trubisky, Rudolph was named the starter for the Steelers' Week 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Rudolph would go on to have one of his best games as a professional, completing 17 of 27 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns in a 34–11 win. [71] Rudolph's performance was the first multiple touchdown outing by one of the three Steelers quarterbacks since Week 3. [72] [73] [74] He also helped break a three game losing streak by the Steelers to move to a team record of 8-7. [75] His 290 passing yards were the most by a Steelers quarterback since Week 5 of the 2022 season. [76] [77]
Rudolph started again the following week, completing 18 of 24 passes for 274 yards in a 30–23 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. [78]
Although Pickett recovered from his injury, the Steelers opted to start Rudolph in a must-win scenario against the Baltimore Ravens. [79] In the game, he completed 18 of 20 passes for 152 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in a 17–10 victory [80] and set a single-game Steelers record for completion percentage. [81] With Rudolph starting, the Steelers finished the regular season on a three-game winning streak and made the playoffs. [82] He started against the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round, completing 22 of 39 passes for 229 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Steelers' 31–17 loss. [83]
Following their playoff exit, Rudolph became a free agent after six seasons with the Steelers.
On March 15, 2024, Rudolph signed a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans. [84]
Rudolph made his first appearance of the season in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. He replaced an injured Will Levis in the first half and led the Titans on seven scoring drives, securing their first win of the season with a 31–12 victory. [85] He started the Titans' Week 7 game against the Bills after Levis was ruled out with a shoulder injury. [86] During the game, Rudolph went 25-of-40 on passes for 215 yards and one touchdown as the Titans lost 34-10. [87]
After a blowout 52-14 loss to the Lions the following week, Rudolph had his statistical best game of the season against the New England Patriots. In the 20-17 overtime victory, he completed 60.6% of his passes (20-of-33) for 240 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. [88] This marked his first game throwing for multiple touchdowns as a member of the Titans. However, Will Levis returned to starter on Week 10 after recovering from his injury.
Rudolph made his next appearance in Week 15's home game against the Cincinnati Bengals. After Levis threw his third interception of the game, Rudolph was sent out during the third quarter. He threw 21 out of 26 passes for 209 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception, posting a season high passing rating of 109.5, but ultimately ending in a 27-37 loss. [89]
