Aaron Rodgers will not determine how Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers operate in the upcoming draft, according to a report by Ray Fittipaldo. The team is planning to select a quarterback regardless of the veteranās response.
āI kind of feel like theyāre gonna draft a quarterback no matter what. Aaron Rodgers is gonna be 42 next fall. Itās a one-year deal with him. We all know that. So, their 2025 draft process doesnāt really change a whole heck of a lot. I still think theyāre gonna draft one. I think just, now, itās a matter of what round.ā
In recent days, NFL rumors have linked Shedeur Sanders as a potential option for the Steelers if he falls to the No. 21 pick. If that doesnāt happen, Jaxson Dart is the other name thatās been strongly mentioned.
Who will be Steelersā starting quarterback?
Aaron Rodgers is the top priority for the Steelers as their starting quarterback, but if the former Super Bowl champion doesnāt sign with the team, Mason Rudolph would take over the offense, and Pittsburgh would likely add a player at that position through the draft.
If they donāt land Sanders or Dart in the first round, Jalen Milroe and Will Howard are third-round options. Right now, the Steelers only have Rudolph and Skylar Thompson on the roster.
