Will Howard Gains Momentum in Steelers QB Battle with Allar

Will Howard has received a significant boost in the Pittsburgh quarterback competition, with franchise legend Ben Roethlisberger now stating that Howard stands out more than rookie Drew Allar. This update comes as the Steelers transition to a new offensive framework under Mike McCarthy. Although the team invested a third-round pick in Allar, Howard’s performance has caught the eye of the former Pro Bowler, making the race for the starting job more competitive heading into the 2026 season.
