INDIANAPOLIS — The Steelers found an Ohio-born quarterback who led them to a pair of Super Bowl victories and established one of the greatest careers in franchise history 18 years ago. Maybe it’s time to go back to that state to find his replacement.
Mitchell Trubisky, a former No. 2 overall pick who spent last season as a backup with the Buffalo Bills, is being talked about at the NFL combine as much as any of the quarterback prospects who are here this week. And that’s because Trubisky, a native of Mentor, Ohio, who was Ohio’s Mr. Football is 2012, is scheduled to become a free agent March 16.
There are least eight other teams who are shopping for a new quarterback this season. The Steelers could be — and probably are — among the interested.
