The Ole Miss gunslinger is smoking hot. Jaxson Dart is expected to go in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft after he put on a stupendous show at the combine. Completing 18 out of 23 passes with a distinguished arm talent, Buzz was high that he might hear his name in the first half of the first round. But as we inch closer to the draft day, the opinions started to vary widely. While Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders seem to be a lock for the Tennessee Titans and the Cleveland Browns, respectively, Dart, the major wild card entry of the draft conversations, seems to impress the $5.3 billion NFL league.
The team in question is none other than the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have been interested in the Rebels’ QB for a while. Now, they are taking it to the next level. The scouts have met the 21-year-old during the NFL Combine, but they skipped him during the Rebels’ pro day. Neither head coach Mike Tomlin nor general manager Omar Khan travelled to Oxford last week to see their target perform live. But wait, they already had an alternative in their mind that might freak you out. The latest intel suggested that Dart will still head to Pittsburgh for a pre-draft visit today.

Considering the popular narrative tagging him as a “less-athletic version of Kenny Pickett”, the Steelers should be careful to avoid making that mistake for the second time. Dart has been an asset during the combine as well as in the Senior Bowl. But there are certainly some areas of concern that might force Tomlin to think twice before reaching too far with him.
