| 0:00.0 | What's up, guys? |
| 0:10.8 | Happy Friday, happy end of the week. |
| 0:14.0 | And happy you, 13 days left until the NFL draft. |
| 0:24.1 | And the Steelers are going to add a quarterback to their room. They're also going to add another quarterback to their room. You might have heard at some point |
| 0:31.1 | along the way. That, of course, being probably Aaron Rogers. However, as we sit here less than two weeks now, officially from the draft, |
| 0:44.4 | it's hard to not wonder what would happen if he doesn't sign. If he just says, |
| 0:52.3 | you know what, I changed my mind or didn't change my mind |

| 1:51.5 | Regardless, his response was, I'd say that's a safe assumption. |
| 1:58.2 | Now, we have already seen that the Steelers have not followed through on things |
| 2:04.0 | that they say. I'm sure a lot of that is things that are out of their control. I'm not accusing |
| 2:07.9 | them of lying or anything. So that doesn't mean that he'd have to stick with that. That doesn't |
| 2:12.4 | mean that there's no chance for Rudolph to be the starter. But it does let you know out loud what it is that they're |
