Will Howard in Mix for Steelers Starting QB Role

Second-year quarterback Will Howard is positioned to compete for the Pittsburgh Steelers' starting job this summer. As the team evaluates its options—primarily waiting on a decision from Aaron Rodgers or potentially pursuing Kirk Cousins—head coach Mike McCarthy has kept the door open for Howard to make a run at the starting role during training camp. Howard, a 2025 sixth-round pick, remains a key part of the team's quarterback depth chart alongside Mason Rudolph.
