Steelers latest draft meeting could lead to a quarterback taken

All star games always bring a closer look at who the Steelers show interest in during the pre-draft process with a quarterback being an option.

All-star games are always a great opportunity for some of the top NFL prospects to show what they got to teams in attendance. The Steelers are no strangers to these events as they continuously watch the practices and speak to players throughout these weeks. There will be plenty of reports that specify which players the black and gold have spoken to.

Mitch Trubisky seems like he will be back next season after what Art Rooney said in a recent interview. Trubisky carries a large cap hit to sit behind Kenny Pickett, and that could make him expendable. Mason Rudolph is out of here, so do not count out Pittsburgh when it comes to investing in another draft pick at the quarterback position.

Steelers met with accomplished UCLA quarterback at East-West Shrine Bowl

Down at the East-West Shrine Bowl, it was self-reported by Dorian Thompson-Robinson that he has spoken with the Steelers. That is not something uncommon to hear this time of year as the scouting department is all over the country trying to find different ways to improve their team. One thing that separates this player from other quarterbacks in this class is his athleticism and experience at the position.

He is competing in the Eat-West Shrine Bowl after playing his college ball at UCLA. His life as a Bruin brought about a ton of playing time throughout his four years at the collegiate level. Thompson-Robinson could have left school last year, but he decided to return. He fits what the Steelers typically look for in a developmental mid to late-round pick at quarterback.
