The Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback pursuit has been the talk of the local and national media with everyone wondering when or if the team will sign Aaron Rodgers or trade for Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins. With Mason Rudolph the current starter, there have been some eyes on sixth-round rookie Will Howard, who, while a curiosity as a rookie quarterback, has no expectations of being an immediate contributor. The lack of expectations and the drama surrounding Pittsburgh’s quarterback situation are an advantage for Howard, former Steelers QB Charlie Batch believes.
Appearing on Up & Adams with host Kay Adams, Batch said that Howard’s only concern is learning and developing, and the lack of pressure at this point will benefit him.
