Entering the 2025 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers were one of several quarterback-needy teams around the NFL. The Steelers saw Justin Fields and Russell Wilson leave in free agency while also waiting for free agent Aaron Rodgers to make a decision regarding his NFL future.
With the Steelers still failing to select a quarterback on Day 3 of the NFL Draft this past weekend, Ohio State signal caller Will Howard was urging the franchise to pick him in the sixth round.
“Please pick me, Pittsburgh,” Howard said in front of cameras.
Just moments later, his wish was granted as the Steelers selected Howard with the No. 185 pick. Howard, who hails from the Philadelphia suburb of Downingtown, was beyond excited to be staying in the Keystone State.
“All Eagles fans, but now they’re going to be some damn Steelers fans,” Howard told Mike Tomlin over the phone.
Howard ended up being the eighth quarterback selected in the 2025 NFL Draft following a tremendous collegiate career. The Pennsylvania native played the first four years at Kansas State before transferring to Ohio State for his final season. Howard completed 73.0% of his passes for 4,010 yards and 35 touchdowns as he helped lead the Buckeyes to a national title this past season.
As Pittsburgh’s depth chart currently stands, Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson are the only other quarterbacks on the roster. It’s unclear if the Steelers will end up landing a veteran like Rodgers or Kirk Cousins before the 2025 season kicks off.
Regardless, Howard’s wish was granted and he landed with the team that he wanted all along.

Joey Logano responds to Chipper Jones’ criticism after Talladega dust-up with Austin Cindric
NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. — MLB Hall of Famer Chipper Jones is no fan of defending NASCAR Cup Series driver Joey Logano, something the former Atlanta Braves third baseman made abundantly clear in several messages posted on X following Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway. This was a fact Logano himself didn’t realize until Tuesday morning, but while he now understands, the Team Penske driver still doesn’t know exactly why.Advertisement“I’ve never met him. I don’t have a reason to dislike him outside of now, but oh well. I guess I’m not rooting for the Braves, anytime soon,” a laughing Logano said Tuesday afternoon at North Wilkesboro Speedway, site of next month’s All-Star Race where he is the defending champion.Jones posted his first message against Logano shortly after Austin Cindric, Logano’s Penske teammate, won Sunday’s race. In the message, Jones defended Cindric and […]
Concerning fantasy baseball 2025 performances from Roki Sasaki, Cody Bellinger and more
We’re a month into the season. It’s time to worry.I’m not exactly an optimist. As the joke goes, some people see the glass as half empty, some as half full — I don’t even see the glass.I find that in this virtual game we play, cynicism pays off. The conventional wisdom is that everyone eventually plays to the back of their baseball card. And that is likely. But with struggling players, we need to identify the reasons their performance has cratered and determine the extent to which it’s actionable, especially in mixed leagues, where you basically trade with the waiver wire. That’s a better practice than reflexively holding guys forever and counting on everything to work out in the end.AdvertisementI’m not saying that worry is necessarily a cause for action. It is one for investigation. My criterion for this worry […]
