Is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ pre-draft visit with QB Michael Penix Jr. a smokescreen or legitimate interest?
According to reports yesterday, the Steelers have a pre-draft visit scheduled with QB Michael Penix Jr. A potential first-round candidate, they almost surely need to draft him with their top pick if they want him. But most assumed that the Steelers already settled their quarterback position for now, so this is a mild surprise.
The team already signed Russell Wilson and traded for Justin Fields, even added Kyle Allen to round things out. They like Fields’ potential as a player they can develop over time, while they believe they can win now with Wilson.
