That the Pittsburgh Steelers might have taken two quarterbacks during the 2022 NFL Draft wasn’t wholly inconceivable. Our own Alex Kozora even projected that they would do just that, including hitting on the seventh-round selection of Chris Oladokun, who as of this writing is on the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad.
They could have just as easily taken Brock Purdy instead, who had an impressive run for the San Francisco 49ers late this season as a starter after they lost first Trey Lance and then Jimmy Garoppolo to injuries before he, too, suffered a UCL injury during the NFC Championship game.
