Brooke Pryor identifies the backup QB competition behind Aaron Rodgers as a key position battle for the Pittsburgh Steelers in training camp. The Pittsburgh Steelers face a crucial decision regarding their backup quarterback position behind starter Aaron Rodgers. According to ESPN's Brooke Pryor, the quarterback position is expected to be a focal point during training camp, although there is no drama regarding QB1. Rudolph began training camp taking second-team reps, while Howard had previously taken those reps during OTAs and minicamp. While Rudolph's promotion ensures immediate veteran reliability behind Rodgers, McCarthy's adaptable approach allows for the possibility that Howard and Allar could vie for roster spots during training camp and preseason games.
