Milroe was seen having dinner on Tuesday night with Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, quarterback coach Tom Arth, and general manager Omar Khan. The meeting is raising eyebrows, especially given the current uncertainty surrounding the Steelers' quarterback situation.

The timing of the meeting is notable as the Steeler's quarterback situation remains fluid. After former quarterback Justin Fields signed with the New York Jets in a high-profile move, Pittsburgh is left searching for a long-term solution at the position. Fields was expected to be the future for the Steelers, but with the plan now derailed, the team is left to explore other options.

To further complicate matters, veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers are both generating significant interest from multiple teams across the league. Wilson has been the subject of trade talks, as some teams see him as a viable short-term option for playoff contention. Meanwhile, Rodgers'  situation is even more up in the air as he continues to contemplate his future in the NFL, leaving teams on hold as they await his decision.

Given these developments, the Steelers' front office has been careful in how they approach the quarterback market. The recent dinner with Milroe underscores their proactive approach in securing future talent.

For Milroe, a solid Pro Day could cement his status as one of the top quarterback prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft.
