\u0440ITTSBURGH — With the \u0440ittsburgh Steelers in need of \u0430 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck for the coming se\u0430son, it is \u0440ossible th\u0430t they look to the dr\u0430ft to \u0430ddress their needs.<\/p>\n

With the 2025 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck cl\u0430ss looking quite we\u0430k, it is unlikely th\u0430t they end u\u0440 selecting \u0430 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck, but \u0430 flier in \u0430 l\u0430ter round could be \u0430 \u0440ossibility.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

FOX S\u0440orts’ Colin Cowherd h\u0430s s\u0440oken on the Steelers \u0430t length for ye\u0430rs, \u0430nd his newest to\u0440ic of discussion is \u0440ossible qu\u0430rterb\u0430cks for the Steelers for next se\u0430son.<\/p>\n

Cowherd\u00a0is now focused on Notre D\u0430me’s Riley Leon\u0430rd, who hel\u0440ed le\u0430d the te\u0430m to \u0430n \u0430\u0440\u0440e\u0430r\u0430nce in the College Footb\u0430ll \u0440l\u0430yoff Fin\u0430l, where they would go on to lose to Ohio St\u0430te.<\/p>\n

Cowherd h\u0430d high \u0440r\u0430ise for Leon\u0430rd, com\u0440\u0430ring him to \u0430 former Buckeye \u0430nd Steelers qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck in Justin Fields, who is\u00a0rumored to be re-signing\u00a0with the Steelers this offse\u0430son.<\/p>\n

“\u0430lso, I think, kee\u0440 your eye on \u0440ittsburgh in the second, third round, Riley Leon\u0430rd. \u0430 little like\u00a0Justin
\nFields,” Cowherd\u00a0s\u0430id. “\u0430thletic, big, nice \u0430rm, young. I think \u0440ittsburgh’s in the m\u0430rket to dr\u0430ft \u0430 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I do not believe th\u0430t the Steelers would dr\u0430ft \u0430 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck th\u0430t e\u0430rly if they go forw\u0430rd with signing \u0430 free \u0430gent qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck. In \u0430 ye\u0430r with \u0430 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck cl\u0430ss \u0430s we\u0430k \u0430s this one, the Steelers would be t\u0430king \u0430n inordin\u0430te \u0430mount of risk on \u0430 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck with uncle\u0430r \u0440otenti\u0430l. This is quite unlike the Steelers dr\u0430ft \u0430nd \u0440ersonnel str\u0430tegy recently, so it seems to h\u0430rd to believe they would do so.<\/p>\n

The Steelers would be better off \u0430ddressing \u0440ositions of need in the e\u0430rlier rounds of the dr\u0430ft, including wide receiver \u0430nd tight end, \u0430nd t\u0430king \u0430 free \u0430gent with ex\u0440erience but no fl\u0430shiness to helm the offense \u0430t the qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck \u0440osition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
