Although the Pittsburgh Steelers just spent the 2024 offseason tearing down and rebuilding their quarterback room, ESPN’s Jordan Reid sees the overhaul as a short-term bridge instead of a long-term answer. In his way-too-early 2025 mock draft released Thursday morning, he has the Steelers selecting Texas QB Quinn Ewers 12th overall, a selection he even admits is higher than where the league currently projects.
“Ewers is still inconsistent with ball placement and downfield accuracy, but he has all the traits you’d want in an NFL quarterback, and another season in Steve Sarkisian’s offense could help catapult his development,” Reid writes.
