There are some stories which feel more fabricated than real. While Ben Roethlisberger’s comments regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers selection of Mason Rudolph in the 2018 NFL Draft were a bit off, they likely didn’t require the media attention it garnered over the past week.

When Rudolph reported to rookie minicamp Friday, he had to know the cameras and reporters would be waiting to ask him about Roethlisberger’s comments. What fans found out was Roethlisberger reached out to Rudolph prior to minicamp, and wished him luck.

Finally! Steeler Nation can finally get some sleep knowing Roethlisberger reached out to Rudolph. While this story will now move its way to the backburner, it will likely be dug up when Roethlisberger reports to spring workouts in just a few weeks.

Time to check in on some other news and nuggets coming from the Steelers after Day 1 of rookie minicamp.

It looks as if James Washington’s body type is turning some heads.

Take the high road

You knew the media would be waiting for Rudolph to say, or do something, wrong, but he didn’t budge. This kid took the high road...again.

Everything is going to be OK

Unless Ben Roethlisberger says, “I guess Mason doesn’t want to be friends with me.” is it safe to say this story can be taken out to pasture?

Things that make you go “Hmmmm”
