With only two quarterbacks on their roster, the Pittsburgh Steelers are likely to add another quarterback at some point in the 2026 NFL Draft. Although there is a strong possibility that Aaron Rodgers will return for a second season as the Steelers’ starting QB, he is also 42 years old, having played half his life in the NFL (21 seasons). It’s possible that Rodgers eventually decides to retire, even if many don’t expect it.
Either way, right now the Steelers have Mason Rudolph and Will Howard, both sixth-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Another must be added; The question is who?
recently, athleticSteelers insider Mike DeFabo reports that Pittsburgh “probably backs” Miami (FL) QB Carson Beck.
DeFabo wrote, “Of the quarterbacks listed, Beck will be the one who best checks every box.” “Having thrown for over 3,000 yards in each of the last three seasons, he is a high-floor QB; Allard is a high-ceiling passer if someone can help translate his attributes into on-field production. For this reason, the Steelers will likely favor the long-armed, big-handed Miami QB in the middle rounds.”
The Steelers have the 21st overall pick in the first round of the draft, but they will not use that selection on Beck, who is not expected to be drafted until day two at the earliest. Still, since the Steelers enter the draft with an NFL-high 12 selections, they will have plenty of opportunities to get their QB.
