The Pittsburgh Steelers made waves with the signing of former UCF quarterback John Rhys Plumlee to an unprecedented undrafted free agent deal after the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite a robust quarterback roster, Plumlee’s arrival has injected fresh excitement into the team, marking a historic moment with a record-breaking deal for an undrafted free agent.

Appearing on the Chipped Ham and Football podcast hosted by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko, Plumlee addressed comparisons to Taysom Hill, renowned for his versatility. While flattered by the comparison, Plumlee stressed his commitment to the quarterback position.

“I take it as a compliment. Taysom Hill is extremely athletic, and I appreciate the comparison. However, I am solely focused on being a quarterback.”

Hill’s versatility has been pivotal for the New Orleans Saints, showcasing his multifaceted skill set beyond traditional quarterback duties. While Plumlee values the comparison, he’s resolute in his identity as a quarterback, eager to demonstrate his skills at the highest level.

“I’m excited to showcase my quarterback abilities in a room with some great names. I’m looking forward to learning from them and seizing this opportunity.”

The Steelers boast a formidable quarterback lineup for 2024, led by Russell Wilson with Justin Fields as backup and veteran Kyle Allen added for depth. Despite stiff competition, the Steelers recognized Plumlee’s potential and offered him a chance, impressed by his college performances.

While Plumlee aims to secure a quarterback spot, his undrafted status prompts consideration of alternative roles. Hill’s versatility prolonged his NFL career and secured him a significant contract. While Plumlee prioritizes quarterbacking, embracing versatility could broaden his opportunities.

Plumlee’s athleticism is undeniable, and while quarterbacking is his focus, exploring diverse roles could enhance his NFL prospects. Hill’s journey underscores the value of versatility in the league. While Plumlee’s stance is clear, remaining open-minded could shape a successful NFL career.
