🚨 SHOCKING SIGNING! STAR QUARTERBACK HEADING TO THE STEELERS PITTSBURGH STEELERS NEWS
Steelers projected to land fast rising QB. What’s up, Steelers Nation? The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the spotlight as the 2026 NFL draft approaches. And with the event set to take place on the Northshore, the city of Pittsburgh is buzzing with anticipation. After a hectic offseason, and with Aaron Rogers leading the team in 2025, the Steelers are already looking ahead to the future of the quarterback position, especially with a 41-year-old veteran playing on a one-year deal. A young prospect rising quickly in draft projections might be the key to the next chapter of the steel herd. Who is this name shaking up the AFC buzz?

Since Ben Rothllessberger’s retirement in 2021, the Steelers have faced a roller coaster at quarterback, marked by frequent changes and the search for a long-term leader. The arrival of Aaron Rogers on a one-year back/doll 13.65 65 million contract brought temporary stability, but his age makes it clear Pittsburgh must plan ahead. The 2026 draft hosted at home is the perfect opportunity to find the next franchise QB, and the projections already point to a surprising name, Fernando Mendoza, quarterback from Indiana University. According to CBS Sports latest mock draft by Ryan Wilson, the Steelers would select Mendoza with the 14th overall pick, a mid-round selection that reflects Pittsburgh’s likely position outside the top five, but still in reach of elite talent. Mendoza, 23, is described as a pocket passer, but not a statue. With subtle movement to evade pressure, the ability to create offscript and accuracy at all levels of the field. He faces pressure with poise, keeps his eyes downfield, and delivers on time, precise throws even when the pocket collapses, wrote Wilson. The 6’5 in 225lb quarterback began his college career at Cal, where he shined in 2024, completing 68.7% of his passes for 3004 yards, 16 touchdowns, and six interceptions, leading a surprise offense alongside running back Jaden. After transferring to Indiana, Mendoza now plays under head coach Curtsi, known for developing quarterbacks, and he’s ready to raise his game in the Big 10. His blend of arm strength, functional mobility, and fast processing places him among the most intriguing QB prospects in the 2026 class. Though many analysts still consider him a sleeper, Mendoza’s projection isn’t unanimous as names like Garrett Nusmeer from LSU and Drew Aller from Penn State, both projected top 10 picks dominate early draft conversations. Still, Mendoza is gaining traction with ESPN’s Todd McShet praising his ability to deliver the ball with ideal velocity and placement, calling him a receivers’s dream. McShet even gave Mendoza a 12% chance of being the number one overall pick, highlighting his explosive potential. For the Steelers, who hold 12 picks in the 2026 draft, including a third rounder from trading George Pickins to the Dallas Cowboys, the chance to land Mendoza in the mid-first round is seen as a lucky break. The team also added key reinforcements like DK Metaf, Jaylen Ramsey, and Jonnu Smith, and they’re clearly in all-in mode for 2025. But the franchise hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016, and pressure is mounting to find a quarterback who can lead for the next decade. Mendoza’s ability to beat blitzes, make fast decisions, and create plays on the run makes him an ideal fit for the physical, aggressive style of the AFC North. Still, the fan base is divided. Some see Mendoza as the answer for the future, while others question whether he can surpass more polished prospects. With Rogers starting in 2025 and backup options like Mason Rudolph and rookie Will Howard behind him, this season will be crucial to determine Pittsburgh’s urgency heading into the draft. And what about you, fan? Do you believe Fernando Mendoza is the right guy to become the next great Steelers quarterback? Or should Pittsburgh target more proven names like Nusmeer or Aller? Can Mendoza bring the team back to the playoffs or even to the Super Bowl? Drop your opinion in the comments and let’s talk it out. Does this team look like a champion?
