The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback situation looks shaky heading into the future, with unproven Ohio State product Will Howard eyed as a possible. Starter by 2026. Without a proven veteran like Aaron Rodgers in the mix, concerns are mounting about the team's options at the position. Earlier this week on the Debo and Joe podcast, former Steelers quarterback Joe Hayden dropped the surprising opinion while chatting with James Harrison. He flat out said the Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedore Sanders edges out Howard right now, as the better player. Hayden knows both teams well, having started his career in Cleveland before spending years in Pittsburgh. Fans might raise eyebrows since Sanders struggled as a fifth round pick last season, but Hayden is giving him credit anyway. Steelers' brass will want to see Howard prove himself before committing long-term, especially since a strong quarterback is key to contending in the banger league.
