PITTSBURGH – Omar Khan got straight to the point to open Tuesday’s pre-draft press conference.
“I know you guys are going to ask about the quarterback position,” the Steelers general manager said. “We go to (training) camp with four quarterbacks. Right now, we have two on the roster, and all options are on the table in how we acquire those last two. I assure you we’ll have four when we get to Latrobe.”
