Player: QB Skylar Thompson
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: Deemed a “camp arm” even when he was the only quarterback under contract, Skylar Thompson made the Steelers’ 53-man roster. At least initially, he will serve as the team’s third, emergency gameday quarterback. We will see if plans change later in the season, however, with rookie Will Howard returning from injury.
The Steelers signed Skylar Thompson on a Reserve/Future contract at the end of last season. At that time, he was the only quarterback the team had under contract for 2025.
