Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback Conundrum: ESPNs Ben Solak Picks LSUs Garrett Nussmeier for Third Round The Pittsburgh Steelers are in need of a quarterback for the present and future, with Aaron Rodgers expected to return for another season and a long-term successor required. While they have Howard as their sixth-round pick from last year, ESPNs Ben Solak suggests they should draft a new quarterback in the 2026 draft. Solaks quarterback-only mock draft has LSUs Garrett Nussmeier as the ideal third-round pick at the 99th overall spot. Nussmeier, known for his impressive arm talent and quick reads, has the potential to be a developmental backup with mobility to challenge Howard. Despite a late injury at LSU that exposed some weaknesses, Solak believes Nussmeier will bounce back strongly in the pros. The Steelers interest in Nussmeier, who could learn from Rodgers and top coaches, suggests they see significant star potential in him.
