Final ranking of the top six quarterbacks for the Steelers

Steelers 4th best fit

A name that has risen from my initial list, Matt Corral is a polarizing player who will need a lot of work at the next level if he ever wants to be a top quarterback. He comes from a very quarterback-friendly system that allowed him to put up huge stats but will cause him to struggle early in an NFL offense. Corral has the traits needed to be an efficient quarterback in this league, but he will have to overcome the RPO-heavy offense that he ran in school to succeed.

What Corral does well is short-to-intermediate throws that are delivered with good accuracy and quickly. His game now resembles a lot of what fans saw from Ben Roethlisberger over the past few seasons, as the ball comes out quick and receivers are tasked with making a big play. This type of offense can succeed at the pro level, but it has a lot of limitations as well that will make Corral a less than desirable option.

While he does have decent arm strength, Corral rarely pushed the ball down the field. His accuracy on deep passes is questionable as well. He is a fine athlete who can make plays on the ground, but his slender frame has already led to some injury concerns. Can Corral overcome his shortcomings and become a viable starter? Yes, but the offense will very closely resemble what the Steelers have run in recent years. Because of this, he can’t rank that highly on this list even though he has some developmental traits to work with.
