Steelers Host Rising QB Prospect Jaxson Dart for Pre-Draft Visit

The Pittsburgh Steelers evaluate Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart as a potential long-term solution while considering veteran Aaron Rodgers for the short term.

Jaxson Dart, a standout quarterback from Ole Miss, visited the Pittsburgh Steelers on April 4, 2025, as part of their pre-draft evaluations.
Dart's draft stock has risen following strong performances at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine, though analysts remain divided on his potential as a first-round pick.
The Steelers are reportedly weighing Dart as a long-term quarterback option while exploring the possibility of signing Aaron Rodgers for a short-term role.
Dart has drawn comparisons to quarterbacks like Gardner Minshew and Brock Purdy, praised for his intangibles but with concerns about his physical attributes.
The Steelers hosted three other prospects on the same day, including Oregon defensive tackle Jamaree Caldwell, Iowa State wide receiver Jaylin Noel, and South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori.
