When the 2025 NFL Draft kicked off, the Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the teams with a glaring hole at the quarterback position. The only QBs on the roster are Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson, neither of which are very exciting for the fanbase.
Sure, there is still a chance veteran Aaron Rodgers will wear the black and gold in 2025, although nobody knows when – or if – he makes his decision.
So, the Shedeur Sanders fit was obvious. When the Steelers passed on him at No. 21 overall, it raised eyebrows. Then, Sanders did not hear his name called at all on Day 2 of the NFL Draft.
After three rounds, the Steelers have yet to take a QB, although each of Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe and even Dillon Gabriel found new homes.
Well, don’t rule out the Steelers just yet on the QB front. Jeremy Fowler mentioned two names they could be interested in, and Sanders is one of them.
“Feels like #Steelers remain an option for Shedeur Sanders. The team is comfortable with Sanders as a distributing point guard in its offense. Not consensus on that but enough to justify taking him at some point. Another QB that Pittsburgh has done a lot of work on: Will Howard”
The Steelers have the 21st pick in the fourth round, although there doesn’t seem to be too many teams that would take Sanders at this point, barring any surprises.
Will Howard, the former Ohio State QB, is another intriguing fit for the Steelers, although he might be more of a project QB who gets playing time in a year or two.
So, after two days, the Steelers need a QB still, and Sanders is still on the board – and potentially an option. Who had that on their bingo card?
