One name being thrown around more and more in association with the Pittsburgh Steelers is Jimmy Garropolo as the days draw closer to the 2022 NFL Draft.
According to Ian Rapoport, Garropolo's chances of becoming a Pittsburgh Steeler are likely and not out of the realm of possibilities as he stated on NFL Network during the 2022 NFL Combine:

“All of the options are on the table for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are going to take a hard look at the quarterback prospects. 20 would not be too early to take one of the top quarterbacks in this draft." Rapoport added Pittsburgh could trade for a veteran quarterback stating, "Jimmy Garropolo would certainly be a name to keep an eye on there."

Garropolo's health is an issue as shoulder surgery is being seriously discussed as of late for the eight-year veteran. The Steelers, or any team for that matter, would need to do their due diligence before trading for Garropolo to make sure they don't trade for a player that is not fully recovered from an injury.
The asking price is the major question at this point considering Garropolo's status heading into next season. Regardless of whether the Steelers opt to draft an answer at quarterback for the future, or seek one in free agency, the secret is out that they are indeed one of the most needy teams when it comes to the position.
