The Pittsburgh Steelers have added quarterback Will Howard from Ohio State in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, a move that could signal future plans for the team. Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger shared advice with the rookie, suggesting he should embrace the lack of pressure associated with being a sixth-round pick. Roethlisberger, who had a stellar rookie season leading the Steelers to a perfect record, indicated that Howard's development could parallel his own.

Currently, Mason Rudolph holds the starting QB position, but with the likes of seasoned quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins potentially in the picture, Howard might play a crucial role in the team's long-term strategy. The Steelers are known for their patience with young quarterbacks, and Howard's journey may just be beginning.
