Ryan Shazier doesn’t know much about the new Steelers quarterback, Will Howard; he just knows that he’s a winner. Last year, Howard led Shazier’s Ohio State Buckeyes to the national title, which doesn’t hurt. Before that, he led Kansas State to a conference title, and did so with lesser talent.
For that reason, Shazier is excited to see Howard follow him from Ohio State to the Steelers. Granted, despite all of his winning, Howard still fell to the sixth round. He returned to college in 2024 in the hopes of improving his draft stock. Despite winning the national title, it didn’t really work out that way.
