Steelers' QB Future: Nussmeier from LSU

0:00On April 8th, Pittsburgh Steelers sitting without a clear quarterback for the future, and right now they might not even have one for today unless Aaron Rodgers makes a move. ESPN analyst Ben Solack points to Garrett Newsmeyer from LSU as the perfect guy they could snag at the 99th pick in the 2026. Draft, right at the end of the third round. Newsmeyer started the 2025 college season looking like a first round lock, but his stock dipped enough to make him available there. The family ties make it even sweeter. His dad Doug was Mike McCarthy's quarterbacks coach back in Dallas, and he's bounced around that coaching tree too. Spots like the Chargers, Eagles, and Saints. Fans and analysts see this as a smart developmental move for the Steelers, especially if Rodgers sticks around to mentor the kid up close. It beats relying on their current backups like Mason Rudolph or last year's sixth rounder, Will Howard, who lacks the mobility. Solack breaks down Nessmeyer's game, six foot two with solid hands, super low fumbles

1:00over 1,800 snaps, great at navigating the pocket, and layering throws. Size might worry some in the tough AFC North at Acres Your Stadium, but his polished screams pro-ready. Steelers got a swing earlier than sixth round this time positions too crucial to keep punting on, no matter if they eye Newsmeyer or someone like, Penn State's Drew Aller next.
