National Champion QB Sends Message After Landing With Steelers in Sixth Round

The Pittsburgh Steelers added an exciting new piece to their quarterback room during the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting former national champion quarterback, [Player Name]. Shortly after hearing his name called, [Player Name] shared an emotional message with fans, teammates, and the city of Pittsburgh.

“I’m beyond blessed and grateful for this opportunity,” [Player Name] said in a video posted to his social media. “To the Steelers organization — thank you for believing in me. To the city of Pittsburgh — I can’t wait to get to work and bring that same fight, toughness, and heart that you all stand for. Let’s get to work!”

[Player Name], who led [College Name] to a national championship last season, became one of the most talked-about players in college football for his poise under pressure and leadership qualities.

“I’m coming in with a chip on my shoulder,” he continued. “I know my journey is just beginning. Nothing will be handed to me, and that’s exactly how I like it.”

The Steelers have a history of developing tough, smart quarterbacks, and many believe [Player Name] could be another strong fit for their system. Head Coach Mike Tomlin praised his winning mentality during a post-draft press conference.

“You can’t teach how to win — that’s something that’s built inside a player,” Tomlin said. “We saw leadership, resilience, and playmaking ability every time we watched [Player Name]. We’re excited to add that kind of competitor to our locker room.”

Though [Player Name] enters a crowded quarterback room with established players ahead of him on the depth chart, he’s focused on learning and earning his place.

“I respect every guy in that QB room. I’m here to compete, to learn, and to push myself every single day,” he said.

Steelers fans have already flooded social media with messages of support for their newest quarterback. Known for their passion and loyalty, the Pittsburgh faithful seem ready to welcome another hard-nosed, battle-tested leader to their team.

As rookie minicamps approach, all eyes will be on [Player Name] as he begins the next chapter of his football journey — this time in black and gold.
