Steelers Now
The 2025 Senior Bowl has arrived and the Pittsburgh Steelers will surely have all hands on deck to get their eyes on the next group of talent in this years draft pool. Last season, they selected multiple prospects that played in this event.
So, it should not be a surprise if one or more of these guys end up in the black and gold. The good news? There are plenty of impressive players that can help fill voids on their current roster. With that being said, let’s talk about some up-and-comers that should demand their attention.
Milroe is one of the best athletes regardless of position in this entire draft class but he’s also one of the polarizing prospects in this cycle. He’s physically gifted with a howitzer for an arm and devastating athleticism, offering tantalizing traits to work with. But the finer parts of quarterbacking at the highest level are all works in progress for Milroe, including his work navigating the pocket and throwing accurate darts with anticipation.
Right now, his film is full of peaks and valleys but if he can put together a few days of consistent work with his arm, his stock could skyrocket. With his rare tools and high character marks, no one has more to gain (or lose) this week in Mobile.

Steelers president Art Rooney II said on Monday that the team will likely be active at quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, and with the first two prospects on the board likely going in the top five, that process starts with Milroe.
The first thing you need to know about Jaxson Dart is that he’s one tough son of a gun that’s willing to stare down the barrel of oncoming traffic to deliver a throw or lower his shoulder on a would-be tackler at the goal line. In Lane Kiffin’s offense, he toggles between point-and-shoot facilitator and wily scrambler who can make magic happen outside of structure. It’s difficult to project just how his game will translate to the next level going from a space-friendly offense to more of a traditional pro-style attack. But the Senior Bowl will give us our first real glimpse of what that could theoretically look like. In a draft class without many (any?) sure things are the games most important position, perhaps Dart can vault into early round consideration.
Just prior to having his 2024 season cut short with an injury, Royals was en fuego, amassing four straight games of over 100 yards with five touchdowns to boot. When working vertically, he’s shown the ability to track the football well and play bigger than his measurements would indicate. Where he truly excels...
