About

Brett Mason Rudolph III (born July 17, 1995) is an American professional football quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Oklahoma State Cowboys, winning the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award during his last year before being drafted by the Steelers in the third round of the 2018 NFL draft. Rudolph has also played for the Tennessee Titans.

From 2018 to 2022, Rudolph primarily served as a backup, making occasional starts. He re-signed with the Steelers in 2023 and spent most of the season as the third-string quarterback before being named the starter late in the season. Rudolph led the Steelers to three consecutive wins, setting a franchise record for completion percentage in the final regular-season game and started in the Wild Card Round against the Buffalo Bills. After one season in Tennessee, Rudolph returned to Pittsburgh in 2025.
