The 2025 NFL Draft came and went, and still, the Pittsburgh Steelers have no definitive answer regarding the most important position in sports.
Despite there being a time in the draft where Pittsburgh had a very QB option not named Cam Ward on their board, they waited until the sixth round and Will Howard to make a quarterback selection.
So the question remains, who will be the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Steelers actions confirm their faith in Aaron Rodgers
Technically, Rodgers isn't a Steeler until he signs on the dotted line. But whether it was the words of Art Rooney on Friday when he said, "he does want to come here" regarding the latest on Rodgers, the fact the team is still a QB shy of their training camp quota, or that they didn't use any significant draft capital on a QB despite meeting with Jalen Milroe, Jaxson Dart and Shedeur Sanders.
But many are still asking who will be throwing the ball, and up until Rodgers takes pictures with a Steelers jersey next to Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin at his introductory press conference, people will remain skeptical. Just look at the top comment on this Steelers Instagram post regarding Jack Saywer of all players…
"You know, I live kind of a quiet life," said Rodgers during his most recent appearance on the Pat McAfee show. "If it weren't for my buddy Tim and my sister Mia, I wouldn't hear about a lot of the bulls— that's out there…
"…I'm in a different phase of my life. I'm 41 years old, I'm in a serious relationship. I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention. I have personal commitments I made not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year, that are important to me."
Some believed the draft was a deadline for Rodgers to Pittsburgh, but Mike Tomlin named a line of demarcation in Palm Beach at the end of March, and he reiterated that during his pre-draft presser, noting training camp as the last ditch effort.
I expect, league sources expect and everyone in football media expects Rodgers to be in Pittsburgh well before the end of July.
But you never know what Rodgers is thinking and until he makes things official, the question will remain.
