The 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers may very well be the Steelers’ quarterback next season — but Jaxson Dart often is the answer beyond 2025-26.
The Steelers hosted 4 NFL draft prospects for top-30 visits on Friday — amongst them was Dart, based on multiple reports, the previous Ole Miss Rebel.
He was the lone quarterback of the group.
And despite previous reports, head coach Mike Tomlin was on the team facility for the meetings — just as he was for Rodgers.
Dart is widely considered the No. 3 quarterback prospect on this yr’s draft and projects as a possible first-round pick.
Pittsburgh has the No. 21 overall pick, but doesn’t, nonetheless, own a second-rounder after it elected to trade it to amass wide receiver DK Metcalf.
In response to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Dart interviewed with the Steelers on the mix and Steelers assistant general manager Andy Weidl attended the Ole Miss pro day last week.
While all indications are that Pittsburgh definitely has its eyes on Dart, the front office can be closely monitoring the quarterbacks expected to be drafted within the later rounds, akin to Jalen Milroe, Will Howard, Riley Leonard and Quinn Ewers.
Steelers general manager Omar Khan attended the professional days for every of the 4, but Louisville’s Tyler Shough is the one other quarterback other than Dart that Pittsburgh has hosted for a top-30 visit.
While their eyes could also be on Dart within the draft, it was reported earlier this week that the Steelers expect Rodgers to sign with them.
“We keep hearing that he’s headed in our direction,” Steelers owner Art Rooney II said on the NFL owners meeting, based on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I’d say we feel pretty good about it presently.”
If Pittsburgh brings in Rodgers and Dart, the veteran would likely handle the starting duties this season while the franchise would hope the teenager develops right into a formidable starter for the longer term.
