Allar & Howard: Steelers' QB Battle Heats Up

0:00On April 25, Pittsburgh Steelers just snagged Penn State Quarterback Drew Aller in the third round of the draft, 11 picks after the Arizona. Cardinals took Carson Beck from Miami. This move kicks off a heated quarterback battle with Will Howard, who's already on the roster. These two were Big Ten rivals back in college, so now they're teaming up to fight for the Steelers' future at the position. Aller jumped on a conference call right after the pick and said he's all in on the competition, ready to support Howard and push everyone in the room. Aller racked up 73 total touchdowns in his Penn State days, 61 passing and 12 rushing, with only 13 picks. Howard threw for 83 touchdowns overall, including 35 in the 2024 season, though he had 35 interceptions. Both rookies will finally see live NFL action this preseason since Howard set out last summer with a hand injury. Expect sparks to fly as they battle it out. Football news, powered by AI.
