Shane Steichen brings veteran UNLV QB experience, but the numbers say he’s a throwback project
In the 2006 season, Shane Steichen finished with 2,540 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, and 19 interceptions for UNLV, showing he could create offense but also lived a little too close to the danger zone. He was a sturdy, experienced pro-style quarterback with enough arm talent and competitiveness to keep drives alive, but his decision-making and efficiency were the main swing factors. If you want a steady distributor, he’s a mixed bag; if you want a gritty, high-usage competitor who can operate a system, there’s real value here.
