\"Shedeur<\/figure>\n
The\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers have been in the headlines\u00a0recently for their reported\u00a0pursuit of free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who recently worked out with newly acquired wide receiver DK Metcalf. The Steelers have already watched Russell Wilson depart for the New York Giants in this free agency period, leaving a gaping hole at the quarterback position at the present moment.<\/p>\n

Still,\u00a0there’s a chance\u00a0that if things fall into place, the Steelers could also find their quarterback of the future in the upcoming NFL Draft, as\u00a0Adam Schefter reported on his podcast recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the only quarterback that they would consider, me reading between the lines, would be Shedeur (Sanders),\u201d said Schefter. \u201cBut I can\u2019t imagine he\u2019s going to slide to 21. So would Pittsburgh be willing to trade up at a certain point to go get\u00a0Shedeur Sanders\u00a0if he gets past those other spots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schefter then broke down how it could theoretically be possible for Sanders to slide if he isn’t taken in the first few slots.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s starting to feel like the New York Giants at number three are starting to look elsewhere other than quarterback,\u201d said Schefter. \u201cSo if the Browns don\u2019t take Shedeur Sanders at two, and the Giants don\u2019t take Shedeur Sanders at three, and that is the feel I\u2019m getting recently. Where is Shedeur Sanders going?\u201d<\/p>\n

An interesting idea for the Steelers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Shedeur Sanders would certainly give the Pittsburgh Steelers more of a building block for the future than Aaron Rodgers would on the wrong side of 40 years old. Justin Fields didn’t provide a ton to be optimistic about during his few starts with the team this year, making it likely that Pittsburgh will look to fill that void one way or another as the offseason continues.<\/p>\n

It’s still possible that Sanders could be taken in the first few spots, but as Schefter noted, the Giants seemingly already have their quarterback and Russell Wilson, and the Browns’ don’t seem to be thinking quarterback as the draft approaches.<\/p>\n

In any case, the draft is slated to get underway in late April from Green Bay.<\/p>\n
