Steelers: 3 Ben Roethlisberger replacements playing on Championship Saturday
By Scott Rogust
NFL teams that are in need of a quarterback in the near future will likely be setting their focus on the ACC Championship Game. Wake Forest’s Sam Hartman is an intriguing option for those organizations.
Hartman played a huge role in the Demon Deacons going 8-0 to start the season. He has the ability to make plays wit his arm and with his feet. It all reached it’s end on a crushing 58-55 battle with the UNC Tar Heels. That game was a statistically impressive one for Hartman, as he threw for 398 yards (25-of-51 on his throws), five touchdowns and two interceptions. Additionally, Hartman ran for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries.
Entering the ACC Championship Game, Hartman completed 60.3-percent of his passes for 3,711 yards, 34 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, while running for 342 yards and two touchdowns on 100 attempts.
Hartman will be a name for the Steelers to keep an eye on, but only if he declares for the draft after this year.
