Charlie Batch Thinks Will Howard Can Put ‘Hand In The Pile’ For Future Starting Job

Just like it was in 2022, quarterback was the position generating the most interest headed into the 2025 NFL Draft for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Unlike 2022 where they drafted quarterback Kenny Pickett with the 20th overall pick, Omar Khan and the Steelers waited all the way until pick No. 185 in the sixth round to snag Ohio State National Championship winning quarterback Will Howard.

Analysts and TV pundits were debating whether the Steelers would take Shedeur Sanders in the first round, or perhaps Tyler Shough in the third, but they ultimately waited to address the position and still ended up with a very solid option in Howard.
