The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to be an exciting team to watch during the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night, as they could go in a lot of different directions.
Pittsburgh could be looking to add a player who can contribute immediately to help it win now, or it might consider drafting a quarterback who can sit behind Aaron Rodgers for a season if he decides to return to play one more year with the Steelers.
Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski believes that Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson would be an "ideal fit" for the Steelers to select with their 21st overall pick.
"Ty SimpsonĀ waited his turn at Alabama and started only one season. The 23-year-old looked great through the first half of the 2025 campaign and put a lot on tape that translates to the NFL," Sobleski wrote on Friday. "He was then beset by injuries, which limited his effectiveness. Still, Simpson has real growth potential in the right situation. If anything, another year of Rogers, while Simpson is given time to learn and develop behind the four-time NFL MVP, is the ideal setup for both the franchise and prospect.
