Now that the Senior Bowl has come and gone, the Steelers will continue their pre-draft process. This event is something many in Pittsburgh should be paying close attention to. The Steelers might not have disclosed all their draft intentions during this event, but they did give away some clues. They don’t shy away from getting up close to the practices and events during the week.
Mike Tomlin started off the list of top executives at the Senior Bowl representing the team. He might be in hot water in the city, but he remains one of the star-striking individuals for college athletes going into the draft. Tomlin has always been a long-time fixture at the event, and Pittsburgh has seen some benefits with his up-close mentality.
Steelers fans may not be thrilled with their team’s draft plans in 2025. Here are five prospects Pittsburgh could have circled on their draft board after the Senior Bowl.
Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
Many are starting to write off Jalen Milroe after a terrible week at the Senior Bowl. He has smaller hands than Kenny Pickett and routinely produced poor practices. Some thought he could be a gamer, but he failed to do much good during the game. Milroe saw his draft stock fall off a cliff, and it could mean landing on day three of the draft.
Few prospects had more to gain from this event than Milroe. He failed to have a good showing, and he will probably slip into day three of the event. Pittsburgh still needs a quarterback or two on the roster, even if they re-sign Justin Fields or Russell Wilson. Not all hope has evaporated for Milroe, but the Alabama product will need at least a few years of development to have a shot in the NFL.
