Potential Steelers QB Prospect Jaxson Dart Withdraws from NFL Draft Participation

Alright, so here’s the scoop on the unexpected turn of events for the 2025 NFL Draft in good ol’ Green Bay. Jaxson Dart—quarterback extraordinaire from Ole Miss—initially said, “Count me in” to the NFL’s invitation. But now, he’s done a complete 180. His name got yanked from the list faster than you can say “Hail Mary.” Seems a little odd, right? No one seems to know exactly why—perhaps it’s a family gig or maybe the dude just wants to hunker down at home and watch the chaos unfold from his own couch. I mean, who doesn’t love their couch? Still, something’s fishy—like maybe he’s not as sure about being a first-round darling as the weather forecast in April.

Meanwhile, in a plot twist nobody saw coming, Georgia’s Mykel Williams also decided to play hooky from the draft. But hey, let’s not rain on Kentucky CB Maxwell Hairston’s parade. Dude’s all set to be there after initially being sidelined. Talk about making a comeback!

So, who’s actually showing up, you ask? Miami’s Cam Ward and Alabama’s Jalen Milroe are strutting their stuff to the draft stage. Honestly, Cam Ward’s basically caught the eye of the Tennessee Titans like the last piece of pie at Thanksgiving. Already set to go numero uno, but beyond that? It’s anyone’s ballgame.

And can we pause for a sec to talk about Shedeur Sanders? He was like, “I’m outtie, thanks but no thanks,” even if they rolled out the red carpet for him. Opting for some quality time with Grandma’s cookies at home, I imagine.

Anyway, where was I? Oh right, chaos in draft predictions. After Ward nails that top spot, it’s a free-for-all. Sanders could plummet down to 21 with Pittsburgh, which is kind of fascinating given he was once hyped as a top-five shoe-in. Then there’s Jaxson Dart—whose draft stock has more questions than a toddler on a sugar rush—and Tyler Shough from Louisville. Seriously, who even knows where they’ll land?

Pittsburgh’s got their eyes all over the place, scanning quarterbacks like it’s an episode of The Bachelor. Except Ward, who they’ve decided to ghost. In came Sanders, Dart, Shough, and Syracuse’s Kyle McCord, all for pre-draft visits. Plus, Steelers’ coach Mike Tomlin has been making the rounds like Santa Claus in December, hitting up Pro Days from Quinn Ewers to Will Howard, not to forget Milroe.

So, will the Steelers nab themselves a QB in this draft? Seems as probable as me misplacing my keys at least twice a day. But figuring out which round or which QB is just throwing darts in the dark at this point.
