Aaron Rodgers claimed the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't give him a 2025 deadline — but could a young QB prospect steal his spotlight away?
At the 2025 Pre-Draft Press Conference, Mike Tomlin stated that Rodgers' potential arrival "does not" impact their draft philosophy — but the draft itself may impact his acquisition.
Tomlin was asked whether or not the 2025 NFL Draft haul could impact Pittsburgh's pursuit of Rodgers — and the Steelers head coach admitted it could be possible:
"I think what you do in the draft oftentimes affects some talent acquisition that happens after. We'll see how the acquisition goes after the weekend."
Fans of the Black and Gold hoping for the Steelers to pull away from signing Rodgers may be glad to hear prospects like Shedeur Sanders or Jaxson Dart could keep the veteran QB at bay — but GM Omar Khan did mention the need to have four QBs on the roster, keeping the door jarred for the former Packers and Jets QB.
The 2025 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday, April 24 at 7:00 PM EST, where fans of the Black and Gold may get their first glimpse at the Steelers' direction for the QB room.
