Steelers Evaluate Future Quarterback Options

As the Pittsburgh Steelers weigh their options for the future, including the potential signing of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the 2025 season, they are not sitting idly by. On Friday, the team invited rising star Jaxson Dart, a former Ole Miss quarterback, for a crucial pre-draft visit that could shape their strategy in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Jaxson Dart: A Rising Star

Dart, 21, is garnering significant attention as one of the top quarterback prospects for this year’s draft. His impressive collegiate career and skill set have made him a focal point for teams looking to bolster their quarterback depth. The Steelers, with the No. 21 overall pick in the first round, are in a prime position to select Dart, especially after trading away their second-round pick at No. 52 as part of the deal for Pro Bowl receiver DK Metcalf.

Coach Tomlin's Presence

Although initially there were reports suggesting that head coach Mike Tomlin would not be present during Dart's visit, Steelers senior director of communications Burt Lauten quickly refuted those claims, confirming that Tomlin was indeed in attendance.

Top-30 Visits Highlight Talent Evaluation

In addition to Jaxson Dart, the Steelers also hosted Iowa State wide receiver Jaylin Noel, Oregon defensive lineman Jamaree Caldwell, and South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori for their top-30 visits on the same day. This influx of talent underlines the team's commitment to building a strong roster through careful evaluation of prospective players.

Looking Ahead to the NFL Draft

With the draft drawing near, all eyes will be on the Steelers' decisions as they aim to solidify their future and return to championship contention.
