The Pittsburgh Steelers waited about as long as possible to address their quarterback situation during the draft. They eventually did in the sixth round, taking Will Howard out of Ohio State. There were a few quarterbacks who made sense for Pittsburgh later on Day 3, but they had started to come off the board quicker during the fifth and sixth rounds.
The Steelers knew they had to get a QB soon. They grabbed Howard, and according to him, the pick made a lot of sense. Courtesy of Brian Batko with The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Howard also said he ‘hoped’ the Steelers would draft him.
