Aaron Rodgers finally made his decision a couple of weeks ago. Now, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback room is complete for the 2025 season. However, during the long wait for Rodgers, there was loads of speculation as to whether the Steelers might target a quarterback with the 21st overall selection in the draft. More specifically, many thought it might be Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders.

According to Steelers’ insider Ray Fittipaldo, the Steelers didn’t have an issue with Sanders as a person. However, he just wasn’t what they preferred in a quarterback.

“When Shedeur came in for the visit, the Steelers didn’t have a bad impression of him or anything like that,” Fittipaldo said, speaking on 93.
