At 27 years old, Huntley would be a very interesting option for the Steelers. He's nothing close to the kind of impact player that Rodgers would be, but he's capable of playing good football and would likely be a better starting option than Rudolph or Howard.

Inside the Steelers' quarterback debate during the offseason, an important coach reportedly favored Justin Fields over pursuing Aaron Rodgers as the starter.

"Their sustained success for over a decade here -- Coach Tomlin's never had a losing season," North said. "The Steelers are always playoff-relevant late down the stretch, and they have a national fan base, so their body of work is what warranted the national television exposure for them, same as probably in previous years."
