by | Jul 30, 2026 | Black and Gold Daily Blitz, Ohio | 0 comments

Steelers training camp is officially underway in Latrobe—and Pittsburgh’s quarterback battle already has a major twist.

On this edition of the Black & Gold Daily Blitz, Jeff “Tito” Thitoff reacts to Mason Rudolph receiving the second-team reps while young quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar split work with the third team. Could Rudolph become a trade candidate before the season, or will Pittsburgh keep all three backups behind Aaron Rodgers?

Tito also breaks down Rodgers declaring that the 2026 season will be his last, Ben Roethlisberger’s support for Howard, and whether a deep Steelers playoff run could change Rodgers’ retirement plans.
