Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Or in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ case, don’t count your 2026 first-round quarterbacks before the scouting reports are even complete.

“This quarterback class is a lot of hype without a lot of substance,” one talent evaluator told CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones. To sum it up in one word, he said, “underwhelming.”
Team president Art Rooney II told the media that they would look to the draft either this year or next to find their next long-term quarterback.
