In a move that has taken both fans and insiders by surprise, the Pittsburgh Steelers have confirmed a stunning decision involving their rising young quarterback, who is currently on a deal worth $823,000.
According to team sources, the Steelers have officially decided to elevate the 24-year-old quarterback into a more prominent role heading into training camp, signaling a potential shake-up in the team’s depth chart at the most critical position on the field.
While head coach Mike Tomlin didn’t reveal if the move meant a starting nod, he did confirm the team’s growing confidence in the young signal-caller.
“He’s earned this opportunity with how he’s developed — not just physically, but mentally and as a leader in the room,” Tomlin said Tuesday. “We like what we’re seeing, and he’ll get every chance to compete.”
The quarterback, who was a mid-to-late round pick, impressed during offseason workouts and has reportedly made major strides in his pocket awareness, accuracy, and overall command of the playbook.
The decision raises questions about the future pecking order under center in Pittsburgh, especially with veteran options currently ahead of him on the depth chart. Analysts are already speculating that the team may be looking to the future — possibly even grooming their next long-term starter.
Steelers fans took to social media with mixed reactions — some excited about the youth movement, others curious about what it means for the established names on the roster.
As the Steelers prepare for a pivotal season in a competitive AFC North, this bold move signals that change may be coming — and it could start under center.
