Steelers Seek Athletic QB Upgrade in Draft After Front-Office Critique

The Steelers, who expect to have three quarterbacks on their roster even if Aaron Rodgers returns, are believed to target a more athletic, prototypical QB in the upcoming draft after front-office complaints about the limited athletic profiles of Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett. With a 12-pick draft arsenal and several pre-draft visits, Pittsburgh appears to be considering bigger, mobile passers like Drew Allar, Cole Payton, Taylen Green, and Carson Beck, while Ty Simpson and Garrett Nussmeier are viewed less favorably due to size/hand concerns, signaling a shift away from last year’s limited-prospect approach.

Steelers Bring in Trio of Mid‑Round Prospects for Pre-Draft Visits

The Steelers hosted three pre-draft visitors—Texas CB Malik Muhammad, LSU LB Harold Perkins and Memphis OT Travis Burke—bringing their total pre-draft visitors to 24 (27 with locals). All three are seen as mid‑round prospects: Burke is a massive 6'8", 325-pound tackle with a mauler profile, Perkins is an ultra‑athletic off‑ball linebacker, and Muhammad projects as a Day 2 corner with strong ball skills. Pittsburgh has also shown interest in other corners and is expected to wrap up visits next week ahead of the draft.

Steelers Host Trio of Likely First-Round Prospects for Pre-Draft Visits

The Steelers hosted three more pre-draft visitors—Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, USC wide receiver Makai Lemon, and Michigan tight end Marlin Klein. McNeil-Warren and Lemon are viewed as likely first-round picks, with McNeil-Warren’s versatility and size and Lemon’s elite route and hands; Klein is a Day-3 projection known for blocking and upside as a receiver. The visit adds to Pittsburgh’s tally, bringing them to 23 of 30 non-local slots.

Steelers Roll Out Trio of Mid-Round Draft Prospects

The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted three pre-draft visitors on Wednesday: Skyler Bell (WR, UConn), Jakobe Thomas (S, Miami), and Jack Kelly (LB, BYU), all projected as mid-round picks. Bell produced 101 receptions for 1,278 yards and 13 TD in 2025 (after a 50-860-5 in 2024) and is viewed as a potential slot receiver; Thomas had a standout 2025 with 76 tackles, 5 interceptions, 6 pass breakups, and 3.5 sacks, offering versatile safety play; Kelly logged 15 sacks across two BYU seasons, 106 tackles, and boasted elite athleticism (RAS 9.73, 4.57 40). With Patrick Queen’s contract expiring after 2026, Pittsburgh is likely to value off-ball linebacker depth, and the team has now hosted 23 total visitors, signaling continued activity ahead of the draft.
