The 2026 NFL Draft, which just so happens to be in Pittsburgh, was expected to be the year that the Pittsburgh Steelers, under GM Omar Khan, addressed the quarterback position in a big way.
Coming into the year, names like Clemson’s Cade Klubnik, Texas’ Arch Manning, Miami (FL)’s Carson Beck, Penn State’s Drew Allar, and even South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers were the big names at the position, creating significant hype for the class at the most crucial position in sports.
But then, once the games started, a number of those names fell apart. Klubnik has taken a significant step back, Beck has been far too inconsistent, Allar was bad early in the year and then was lost for the season with an injury, and Sellers has been too up and down.
