The Steelers picked both Mason Rudolph and James Washington. Here’s a video of ALLLLLLL their college touchdowns together

Steelers fans, get a look at the best potential version of your future:

After picking Oklahoma State WR James Washington in the second round, the Steelers followed up by drafting his college QB, Mason Rudolph in the third.

Even better: they’ve already lit up Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field, with Rudolph throwing for 497 yards against the helpless Pitt Panthers in 2017.

OSU’s offense is a tough thing to translate for NFL fans, or at least it has been. It’s becoming more pro-style all the time, as the NFL evolves more toward college-friendly systems. And there’s reason to think Rudolph might be readier than the stereotypical Big 12 QB:

What’s more, Rudolph was a much more advanced student than your typical college spread QB.

The Oklahoma State offense often worked in a “pro-style” fashion, in that Rudolph would approach the line of scrimmage with a menu of options, based on the look the defense was giving. Then he might check the play to one of a few alternatives if he saw an opportunity to hit a big play or smelled a negative play coming.

You can see that against TCU:

The Cowboys had just converted a first down with a run. Rudolph is communicating to his teammates to get them into position for a play he knows will be available. They hurry into a formation, he checks the alignment of the corner to be sure what he’s seeing, and he takes the easy money on the comeback against an isolated defender, all after eyeing the weak-side safety to ensure he knows the defensive alignment. The timing and placement are perfect.

Washington, meanwhile, has fewer concerns. He’s just a really good WR.

Now let’s see how long until these two connect for a TD in the pros. Preseason, for now?
