The Pittsburgh Steelers had multiple cracks at drafting big-name quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft, but ultimately they decided to pass on the Colorado signal caller, instead watching him land in the AFC North with the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round.
Two weeks later, while the Steelers are still waiting for a decision from 41-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the discussion of the Steelers and Sanders has come back up again, thanks to ESPN Radio’s Unportsmanlike and former NFL defensive end Chris Canty.
Appearing on the show Monday morning, Canty questioned if the decision to pass on Sanders by the Steelers is the “biggest mistake” of the Mike Tomlin era after Sanders had a strong showing over the weekend in the Browns’ rookie minicamp, garnering plenty of attention.
