When it comes to back up quarterbacks, the Steelers had quite a roller coaster run last year. The team originally had Bruce Gradkowski and Landry Jones backing up Ben Roethlisberger. However, a preseason injury sent Gradkowski to the injured reserve. The Steelers then signed quarterback Michael Vick to their squad.
