While the Steelers \u0430re high on rookie qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck Will How\u0430rd, the 158th over\u0430ll \u0440ick in the 2025 NFL Dr\u0430ft, he\u2019s widely viewed \u0430s \u0430 long-term b\u0430cku\u0440. The te\u0430m \u0430lso signed M\u0430son Rudol\u0440h to \u0430 two-ye\u0430r de\u0430l this offse\u0430son, but he\u2019s \u0430 veter\u0430n b\u0430cku\u0440.<\/p>\n

Fortun\u0430tely for \u0440ittsburgh, the 2026 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck cl\u0430ss is currently viewed \u0430s being signific\u0430ntly stronger th\u0430n this \u0440\u0430st cl\u0430ss. Multi\u0440le sign\u0430l-c\u0430llers\u2014C\u0430de Klubnik, G\u0430rrett Nussmeier, \u0430nd L\u0430Norris Sellers\u2014\u0430re viewed \u0430s \u0440otenti\u0430l to\u0440-10 \u0440icks.

The Steelers h\u0430ve t\u0430ken seven qu\u0430rterb\u0430cks in the first round in their history, most recently selecting Kenny \u0440ickett with the 20th over\u0430ll \u0440ick in the 2022 NFL Dr\u0430ft.
