Leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, many believed that the Pittsburgh Steelers would be in the market for a quarterback, and potentially even in the first round, based on the work the franchise did on Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough and more.
But the Steelers waited until the sixth round of the draft to land a quarterback, drafting Ohio State’s Will Howard and snagging a quarterback they did work on as well, though one that didn’t draw as many headlines as the three previously mentioned, despite winning a national championship.
The Howard addition was widely praised based on value and fit.
