Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has never been one to reveal much about his draft strategy, but his latest comments about Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers have fans buzzing. When asked about the potential fit of the Longhorns signal-caller in Pittsburgh, Tomlin responded with a cryptic yet intriguing remark: “We’d make an interesting duo.”
The comment has sparked speculation about whether the Steelers could be eyeing Ewers in the upcoming NFL Draft. While the team currently has Kenny Pickett on the roster, questions remain about whether he is the long-term answer at quarterback. With the Steelers holding the No. 20 overall pick, they may need to trade up to secure a high-profile talent like Ewers.
Ewers, known for his quick release and deep-ball accuracy, is one of the more polarizing prospects in this year’s draft class. After transferring from Ohio State to Texas, he showcased his arm talent and playmaking ability, leading the Longhorns to a strong season. His leadership, paired with his physical tools, makes him an enticing option for teams in need of a quarterback.
For Pittsburgh, adding a quarterback of Ewers’ caliber could signal a shift in offensive philosophy. The Steelers have traditionally relied on a strong defense and run-heavy attack, but with a dynamic passer like Ewers, they could look to modernize their approach.
While Tomlin’s comment may not confirm Pittsburgh’s draft intentions, it does suggest that the Steelers are at least evaluating their options at quarterback. If the team is serious about making a move, they may need to maneuver up the draft board to ensure they land Ewers before another team does.
Steelers fans have already taken to social media, debating whether Ewers would be a good fit. Some believe he has the potential to revitalize Pittsburgh’s offense, while others question if he’s worth the investment over developing Pickett.
As the draft approaches, all eyes will be on Pittsburgh’s front office. Was Tomlin just being playful, or is there real interest in bringing Ewers to the Steel City? Only time will tell.
