Despite completely rebuilding the quarterback room in 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers will find themselves in need of help at quarterback again in 2025. We expect the Steelers to re-sign either Justin Fields or Russell Wilson in free agency but not both.
This would put the Steelers in line to draft a quarterback early in the 2025 NFL draft with Fields or Wilson as the bridge player until they are ready to start. This is much more of a Wilson scenario over Fields but more on that as the offseason goes on.
But which quarterback should the Steelers choose? Assuming Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are long gone, the Steelers options are somewhat limited. Pro Football Focus offered up their opinion on the quarterback the Steelers should target and it is Alabama’s Jalen Milroe.
Here’s what they had to say about Milroe to the Steelers:
Both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are free agents this offseason and even if they bring either of them back, they are still in the market for a quarterback to develop. Milroe’s hype has fallen some, but he earned PFF grades above 87.0 in each of the past two seasons.
The reason the hype has died down on Milroe is his rough finish to the season. Milroe’s athletic potential falls right in line with the modern NFL but there’s no doubt he’s a work in progress. As a second-round pick, he could be an excellent long-term investment with a starter in place.
