The Pittsburgh steelers have drafted the old quarter of the state of Ohio Will Howard in the sixth round of the NFL 2025 draft, and its role could increase over the year.
In a recent episode of his Podcast FootbahlinThe Steelers legend, Ben Roethlisberger, had advice for the recruit on the kind of spirit he could have in the season.

“He needs to understand, and I would tell him this: you have no pressure, my friend. You are a sixth round, there is no pressure,” said Roethlisberger. “He should enter this season with the mentality of” I can play freely, I have no pressure. “”
The 43-year-old retirement quarterrier knows something or twice about driving a happy new year. He led the Steelers to a perfect record of 13-0 in the matches he began, which led him to be appointed unanimous offensive of the year in 2004.
While Howard was not the 11th choice in total like Roethlisberger, he seeks to have a similar impact on the road. Many expected the Steelers to take a quarter earlier, but the team decided to wait for the sixth round. Consequently, the quarter-back from the team at the moment is Mason Rudolph.
This probably means that the team has a plan involving Aaron Rodgers or Kirk Cousins, but Howard could still be part of this plan. These two guys are at the twilight of their career, so the team will need their quarter-arre of the future.
Howard hopes he can be this guy, like Roethlisberger in front of him.
