Just less than three weeks before the 2025 NFL Draft, Khan sat down with former Steelers offensive tackle Max Starks for Steelers.com.Khan mentioned how he and the coaching staff have spent time with draft candidates and how they will most likely select the best available player with the 21st overall pick rather than a certain position.“Our goal is always to put ourselves in a position where we don’t have to take a guy at a specific position," Khan said. "And I feel like we’ve added some key pieces to what we’re trying to accomplish. And this draft is, there’s some really good players in this draft that can help us at various positions."And we’ve been working hard at trying to make sure we set our board right, and there’s more work to come. This is the next three or four weeks are going to be really important, but we’re right in the middle of it and feel good about it.” (TS 5:25)The Pittsburgh Steelers need a quarterback heading into the 2025 NFL season.
