Steelers Predicted to Use Drew Allar Pick on Brendan Sorsby
Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- NFL analyst Steve Palazzolo predicts the Pittsburgh Steelers will use a third-round pick in the supplemental draft to select quarterback Brendan Sorsby, adding him to an already crowded quarterback room.
- Palazzolo suggests the Steelers may be losing faith in current quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar, prompting them to take a chance on Sorsby despite existing depth at the position.
- Sorsby, who lost NCAA eligibility due to a gambling case but won a temporary injunction, is considered a high-upside prospect due to his size, arm talent, and mobility, though he remains a developmental player.
- If the Steelers acquire Sorsby, Will Howard is expected to be the biggest casualty, potentially being traded, released, or moved to the practice squad, as Pittsburgh prioritizes developing Allar and Sorsby.
- The Steelers have reportedly conducted thorough background checks on Sorsby, indicating they are seriously considering the risk and reward of adding him to their quarterback roster.
