Steelers scout tandem of top quarterback prospects for the 2027 NFL Draft

Pittsburgh Steelers dispatched their scouting team across the country to assess potential players for the 2027 NFL Draft. Among the key targets were two standout quarterback prospects, both of whom graced the screens at USC games.

First up was USC quarterback Joyden Maiava, a colossal figure on the field, recognized for his formidable athleticism, a powerful arm, and exemplary leadership. Despite these impressive attributes, Maiava needed to demonstrate greater consistency in his performances. The USC squad emerged victorious in their match against Rutgers, with a final score of 42-35.

During this win, Maiava was on fire, completing 20 out of 32 passes for an impressive 272 passing yards and contributed two touchdowns, thereby throwing no interceptions.

The second notable quarterback the Steelers were monitoring was Notre Dame's CJ Carr, who played against Michigan State. Carr's game was comparatively subdued, culminating in just 234 passing yards through 18 of his 24 attempts. His only touchdown came from a nine-yard run. Although Carr didn't score via passing, he showed flashes of his potential, suggesting that a successful season could firmly place him as a first-round pick, possibly even securing a spot as the third or fourth quarterback off the board.

While Maiava is viewed as a wildcard in the draft landscape, he could present a valuable pick in the late second or third round. This report first surfaced on Steelers Wire: Steelers scout tandem of top quarterback prospects for the 2027 NFL Draft.
