OTAs are almost here for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Aaron Rodgers still hasn’t joined their team. It feels like he’ll eventually sign with the Steelers, but that’s not guaranteed. If Rodgers doesn’t sign with them, Mason Rudolph would likely be the Steelers’ 2025 starter. Skylar Thompson and Will Howard likely wouldn’t push him for that job. However, former NFL scout John Middlekauff is very confident that Howard will get playing time this season if Rodgers doesn’t join the Steelers.
“If Rodgers does not show up, which would feel a little crazy, but we’re on May 19 and he hasn’t signed, I would say one million percent Will Howard could play,” Middlekauff said recently on his 3 and Out podcast.
