Oklahoma State did not have the season anticipated for the Pokes in Stillwater in 2017. Losses to the TCU Horned Frogs and Kansas State Wildcats derailed dreams of a Big 12 Championship and Playoff appearance spearheaded by the best offense in the nation.

Rudolph led a high-powered attack for head coach Mike Gundy and the Pokes that have multiple players that will be playing on Sundays. Moreover, Rudolph’s physical tools make him a prime choice to run an NFL offense. He’s got the size, mobility, and arm strength to shred next level defenses.

The main question for Rudolph is if he can get past the accuracy issues and come through in the big time. Rudolph was not good when it counted for the Pokes against Kansas State and TCU. Even the Bedlam loss to the Sooners put the game in Rudolph’s hands and he did not come through when it mattered.

Overall, Rudolph’s athleticism and tools are going to make him a first round pick. The Denver Broncos have expressed interest in him already, with none of their current options looking up to par. Rudolph is a good fit with Denver’s offensive scheme as well.
