The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to keep fans and analysts puzzled with their decision-making in the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite needing a quarterback, the team passed on Shedeur Sanders for the third time, opting instead for linebacker Jack Sawyer from Ohio State with the 123rd overall pick. This decision comes in the wake of speculation surrounding Aaron Rodgers, whose potential arrival has seemingly influenced the Steelers' draft strategy. Both owner Art Rooney II and head coach Mike Tomlin provided conflicting statements regarding Rodgers' impact on the draft. While Rooney expressed optimism about Rodgers joining the team, Tomlin insisted it had no bearing on their draft decisions, leading to further speculation about the franchise's direction.
