The Steelers aren’t looking at quarterbacks this week so much because of Aaron Rodgers, but rather because of Caleb Williams. The team worked out three quarterbacks, signing one, a familiar face in John Rhys Plumlee. He will be on the practice squad this week—and no doubt he will run the scout team, in a specific way.
This week, the Steelers play an unfamiliar foe in the Bears, flying out to Chicago. They have Caleb Williams at quarterback, a 2024 first-overall pick. In his press conference yesterday, HC Mike Tomlin acknowledged he hadn’t scouted him much. While they were in the market for a quarterback, they knew Williams would be out of reach.
