The Pittsburgh Steelers have ruled a surprising name out?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"Nov<\/div>\n
\n

The Pittsburgh Steelers are yet to commit to a starting quarterback for the upcoming 2025 NFL season. They\u2019ve had their options like Sam Darnold and Aaron Rodgers, but Darnold signed with the Seattle Seahawks and Rodgers remains\u00a0non-committal to the Steelers.<\/p>\n

With the 2025 NFL Draft on the horizon, there is plenty of speculation that the Steelers might try and select their QB of the future. While drafting a quarterback is possible, it likely won\u2019t be Alabama\u2019s Jalen Milroe.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Mike DeFabo of the Athletic,\u00a0he believes that even if Milroe is available in the third round (83rd\u00a0overall) of the draft, the Steelers will go in a different direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, I\u2019m going to make a bold prediction,\u201d DeFabo said. \u201cIf Milroe is sitting there in the third round, the Steelers still won\u2019t draft him.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeFabo noted that Collin Cowherd was given insight that the Steelers\u00a0\u201creally like\u201d\u00a0Milroe, and might be willing to take him in the first round with their 21st\u00a0overall pick.<\/p>\n

According to DeFabo, \u201cI\u2019m hearing the exact opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his junior year with the Alabama Crimson Tide, Milroe threw for 2,844 yards and 16 touchdowns. Milroe helped lead Alabama to a 5-3 conference record and 9-4 overall.<\/p>\n

Milroe does sound like an attractive option for the future of the Steelers, who have had a revolving door of starting quarterbacks since Ben Roethlisberger retired.<\/p>\n

Still waiting for a decision from a 41-year-old Rodgers has kept the Steelers from signing any other big-name free agents. At the moment, the only two quarterbacks on the Steelers roster are Skylar Thompson and\u00a0the return of Mason Rudolph.<\/p>\n

Quarterback is by far the most important position in the sport, and the Steelers continue to have unanswered questions regarding the next steps for that position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
