Analyst ranks Steelers quarterback room third in AFC

CBS Sports analyst Emory Hunt has ranked the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback room third among AFC teams. He placed them behind only Houston and Cincinnati.

Hunt highlighted Aaron Rodgers as the key factor making the group solid. Rodgers played well late last season and helped the team win a divisional title, according to the analyst.

The room also includes Mason Rudolph as a reliable backup option. Rookies Will Howard and Drew Allar add potential, paired with quarterback coach Mike McCarthy.

Hunt ranked Pittsburgh above teams including Baltimore, Kansas City, Buffalo and New England. He noted the overall talent despite the lack of a clear long-term franchise quarterback after Rodgers retires at season's end.
