It must be incredibly challenging for the Pittsburgh Steelers to be one week away from the 2025 NFL Draft without a response from Aaron Rodgers, as they await a decision that will shape the franchise’s future. Meanwhile, other players like https://www.marca.com/en/nfl/aaron-rodgers.html are ready to give their all for the team.

Jalen Milroe: “I’ll be ready to go”
Former NFL MVP Rodgers has delayed his decision for a month, but even if he signs with the Steelers, the team still faces a problem, as it’s unlikely he’ll play for more than two years. This makes it an ideal time to search for the next star at the position.
There’s no doubt that Alabama prospect Jalen Milroe fits into this picture, a player the team already met with before his Pro Day, indicating he’s on their radar.
Milroe was asked about this possibility and didn’t hesitate to mention Aaron Rodgers, as well as Michael Vick, who played one year for the Steelers.
“I’ll be ready to go,”” he told CBS Sports’ Bryan DeArdo. “Like you mentioned, the amount of pieces that they have, a head coach that understands the offensive scheme and is defensive-minded. … Also, his winning experience. He’s always had a winning record.”
“That winning edge, winning spirit, the culture as well. There’s definitely a lot of great pieces of being a Steeler. But of course, you know, I can’t choose where I go, but when I did visit with them, they came out impressed, by me as a person, and of course, an athlete and quarterback as well.”
Milroe doesn’t mind the idea of joining a team and being mentored by Rodgers, even referencing the cases of Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes, who didn’t start right away.
“Both didn’t play early on, right?” he remarked. “If you ask both of them about their success and their process and what got them to that level, I bet they’ll say not playing early on and developing as a pro. There’s a lot of things as young player that you don’t know right away.”
Time is running out for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but in a week, they should know what their decision will be, while also awaiting Aaron Rodgers’ final verdict.

Getty Images Shedeur Sanders may believe he's the best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft class, but NFL teams apparently feel otherwise. After going unselected in the first round on Thursday night, Sanders was also completely overlooked in Round 2, when Louisville's Tyler Shough became the next quarterback to come off the board. Then all of Round 3 also passed without his name being called. Jalen Milroe, meanwhile, became the fourth quarterback off the board when the Seattle Seahawks drafted the Alabama star at No. 92 overall. Two picks later, the Cleveland Browns selected Oregon signal-caller Dillon Gabriel, passing on Sanders for the fourth time in the draft. Day 3 of the draft is underway, and Sanders went undrafted in the fourth round -- the opening round on Saturday -- as well. Sanders' dramatic tumble came hours after CBS Sports NFL insider […]
