To make the news of Pittsburgh Steelers rookie QB Will Howard beginning the year on injured reserve an even difficult pill to swallow, it wasn’t just the fanbase impressed by his camp performance. His teammates were taking notice, too. Wide receiver Ben Skowronek highlighted Howard as the top Steelers’ rookie who stood out at Latrobe.
“Will Howard, I’m very impressed by his football IQ at such a young age,” Skowronek said during Cam Heyward’s latest Not Just Football podcast. “He’s asked the right questions and very sharp.”
The episode was recorded during training camp and presumably before Howard suffered a broken finger on his throwing hand that knocked him out for the rest of the summer.
