Due in large part to tragic circumstances, the Pittsburgh Steelers entered the 2022 NFL Draft with only two quarterbacks on their roster. They exited with four, using their first-round selection on Kenny Pickett and finishing their class with Chris Oladokun out of South Dakota State.
Pickett will be competing with Mitch Trubisky for the starting job this season. Oladokun will be competing for a roster spot—likely hoping, at this point, that he can show the team enough to convince them that they can trade Mason Rudolph.
Oladokun knew there was a chance that he might go undrafted, but he believed in himself all along the way, and he’s not coming to the Steelers assuming that he is nothing more than a fourth arm for the purposes of training camp—if that’s all they hoped for, they wouldn’t have drafted one.
