The Pittsburgh Steelers’ front office has faced no shortage of tough calls this offseason.
Some decisions were bound to draw more attention than others. Still, one, in my mind, might linger the longest — passing on former Colorado State quarterback Shedeur Sanders during the 2025 NFL Draft.
For months, Sanders was considered a first-round projection.
His two years in the Pac-12 under the guidance of his father, NFL Hall of Famer and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, painted the picture of a player with pedigree, poise, and promise. During his tenure, he recorded 7364 passing yards, 64 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions.
