The Pittsburgh Steelers have hit reset at the game’s most important position and the clock is ticking. With Russell Wilson heading to the Giants and Justin Fields jumping ship to the Jets, the Steelers ' 2024 quarterback room has been wiped clean. Mason Rudolph is back in black and gold after a stint in Tennessee, but let’s be honest, he’s not the answer. Skylar Thompson rounds out the roster, but Pittsburgh knows this isn’t a duo you stake a season on.
Draft drama incoming: Shedeur Sanders and the waiting game
Enter the 2025 NFL Draft. The Steelers sit at pick No. 21, and while it’s not a prime QB spot, there’s growing buzz that things could break their way. Specifically, if Shedeur Sanders starts to slide.
The Colorado QB and son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders comes with both a spotlight and a stat sheet that demands attention. Two-time All-SWAC, Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, and over 7,300 passing yards with a record-breaking 71.8% completion rate? Yeah, that’s no fluke.
The Saints, who own pick No. 9, seem lukewarm on Sanders, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That hesitation could open the door for the Steelers, assuming a few QB-needy teams pass. And with most franchises ahead of Pittsburgh already locked in at the position, there’s a real shot Sanders is still sitting there at 21.
He’s not a flawless prospect but what he is, is intriguing. Poised, smart, and accurate, Sanders brings a mature approach to the position and an aura that could energize a team looking for a new identity.
Why Steelers must take a bold gamble on Shedeur Sanders
For the Steelers, this isn’t just about talent. It’s about timing. This is a franchise hungry to return to relevance. A calculated gamble on a player like Sanders could be the move that reignites the offense and redefines the future in Pittsburgh.

Forget safety. It’s time for bold. If Pittsburgh plays its cards right, Shedeur Sanders could be more than just a pick, he could be a turning point. With the AFC North more competitive than ever, the Steelers need a quarterback who can grow into a leader, command the locker room, and ignite the offense. Sanders checks those boxes. The question now is simple: will he be there at 21, and will Pittsburgh have the guts to pull the trigger if he is?
