During a pre-draft meeting, Colorado Buffaloes QB prospect Shedeur Sanders reportedly did not impress the Pittsburgh Steelers, as per insider Aaron Wilson. Wilson indicated on Texans Today’s Live 2025 NFL Draft Special that Sanders' meeting with the Steelers did not go well, suggesting that Sanders may not end up with the team despite initial speculations.
Insider Gerry Dulac has also mentioned that there is "zero chance" of the Steelers trading up to pick Sanders. This decision could be influenced by the underwhelming meeting with Sanders, doubts about his NFL preparedness, or a combination of factors. The 2025 NFL Draft may hold the key to the Steelers' search for a new quarterback, but it appears that Sanders may not be the chosen solution for the team's quarterback struggles.
