🏈 Ryan Edwards of CBS Sports has the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava at 16th overall in his way-too-soon 2026 mock draft.

As with all of these quarterback prospects, Iamaleava has not played at a No. 16 overall level, but the pieces are there if he can put it all together.”
