Talking about the Steelers’ new quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, for the first time since he signed, Slay believes the Steelers have set up an ideal situation for the four-time MVP.

Steelers rookie QB Will Howard holds Aaron Rodgers in high regard — explaining how much impact the four-time MVP has already made.

Aaron Rodgers was brought in to be the solution to the quarterback problems that have plagued the Pittsburgh Steelers since Ben Roethlisberger retired in 2022.

Entering the 2025 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers were being heavily linked to former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. However, the team opted to pass on him repeatedly throughout the draft until he was selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were rumored to be interested in Shedeur Sanders leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, evidenced by the fact that they hosted the 23-year-old on a top-30 visit, only to pass on selecting him numerous times.

The Pittsburgh Steelers never planned to draft a quarterback in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. In fact, Shedeur Sanders apparently was barely on the franchise's radar even amid their search for a signal-caller after Justin Fields signed with New York in March.
