Mike Tomlin: Tanner Morgan’s Experience and Leadership Ability Is What Drew Team To Him

The Pittsburgh Steelers normally carry three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster during the season, yet after the 2023 NFL Draft concluded the team only had two: Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky. The Steelers promptly addressed that issue, signing Minnesota quarterback Tanner Morgan as an undrafted free agent shortly after the draft.

Morgan spent six years at Minnesota where he owns multiple school records, including games won (33) and completion percentage (62.2 percent). Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Morgan’s experience is something that attracted the team to him.

“He’s a guy that’s played a lot,” said Tomlin Saturday after a rookie minicamp practice, via 93.
