On the first night of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers opted not to draft a quarterback. Instead, they took defensive lineman Derrick Harmon. That’s also a huge need for them, so it wasn’t surprising to see them go in that direction. However, every quarterback except Cam Ward was available, and the Steelers still weren’t interested in Round 1. ESPN’s Peter Schrager believes this signals that Pittsburgh is all in on Aaron Rodgers.
“If you’re in the Aaron Rogers game and you’re trying to convince Aaron to come and you’re even trying to still be in the Aaron Rodgers game, the last thing you would do would be draft a quarterback tonight,” Schrager said Thursday on The Pat McAfee Show’s Draft Spectacular.
