00:00If you told someone just months ago that the Pittsburgh Steelers would be in range to trade
00:05up for one of the top quarterbacks in this year's draft, they probably would have laughed at you.
00:10And regardless of what happens with Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers have to find their
00:14quarterback of the future sometime soon, and it could be one of the top passers in this year's
00:20draft. Hey everyone, Rob Gregson of A to Z Sports Pittsburgh, and today we're going to discuss the
00:28idea of Shadur Sanders in the black and gold. That's right. A name that everyone in football
00:35knows that just a few months ago was being discussed as potentially the top pick in the NFL
00:40draft. You're sitting here and asking yourself, well, how is it possible that he falls to the
00:45Pittsburgh Steelers? Well, recently we have seen in mock drafts that Shadur is falling. Beyond that,
00:52we have seen in mock drafts from A to Z Sports that Shadur Sanders could be a valuable trade
00:59up candidate for the Steelers. And to be clear, while there's been a lot of smoke on whether or
01:05not the Steelers would even take a quarterback in round one, Adam Schefter recently came out and said
01:11that the Pittsburgh Steelers would consider Shadur Sanders should he fall in the NFL draft. And quite
01:17frankly, they would have to. While I'm not the biggest fan because he doesn't have any elite
01:22trait, he's not physically impressive really with anything he does, he does have the mold of a
01:28Steelers quarterback. We know Mike Tomlin loves what? Championship pedigree, bloodlines, DNA,
01:35leadership. These are all qualities that Shadur Sanders has in spades. Yeah, he's not the most
01:41mobile. Sure, he doesn't have the biggest arm, but he's accurate, he's poised, and he's as tough
01:46as nails. All of that sells for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not to mention the fact that, yeah,
01:52he's the son of one of the greatest players to ever play in the NFL. All of that is sure to win
01:58over head coach Mike Tomlin. So yeah, if the team is anywhere close to Shadur Sanders on draft night,
02:05if he makes it past the New Orleans Saints at ninth overall, and suddenly the Pittsburgh Steelers have
02:12a clear shot at trading up to get him, there's a real possibility that that happens. If by some
02:18miracle, he falls all the way to 21, you would be shocked to see the Pittsburgh Steelers pass on
02:25Shadur Sanders at that point. So it's time to start talking about Sanders to Pittsburgh as a real
02:31possibility. And that's regardless of whatever Aaron Rodgers decides at this point. Because if
02:37the Pittsburgh Steelers think they can find their quarterback of the future in this draft,
02:42and Shadur Sanders is within striking range, expect them to do just that.
