Is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ interest in drafting a quarterback real? Absolutely.
There’s a case to be made that the team has simply spent its time exploring its options, keeping the knife sharp as it looks towards a potentially stronger 2026 class. These are valid theories throughout most of the 2025 draft cycle. But with the news of Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders’ Thursday visit on top of everything we know about Pittsburgh’s quarterback interest, it’s impossible to consider this just “due diligence.”
It doesn’t guarantee that Pittsburgh will draft any particular name or select a quarterback in the first round.
