Will Howard: Steelers' QB Room Wide Open

0:00On April 5, Pittsburgh Steelers, Ricky quarterback, Will Howard, had a rough start to his career last year. Drafted in the sixth round out of Ohio State in 2025, he suited up for just one game, but saw zero snaps on the field. A fractured pinky on his throwing hand early in training camp sideline him through preseason and put him on injured reserve until November 12. Now healthy, Howard's drawing eyes as a potential starter down the line. All signs suggest Aaron Rodgers might join the Steelers eventually, but if that falls through, Howard could be under center in 2026. Coaches like Mike McCarthy stressed the key for young quarterbacks, winning from the pocket. He points out that 9 or 10 games a season boiled down to two minute drills, so that's where training focuses and Howard's got the other tools. Former Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch is putting Howard on notice too. On his podcast, Batch told him to prove it's his job and go take it. With Rodgers rumours swirling and Howard getting these wake-up calls, the Steelers quarterback room stays wide open.
