I can’t recall a sixth-round pick drawing this much attention ahead of their rookie season like QB Will Howard has. Besides the position he plays and the grim, long-term outlook at quarterback on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster, the buzz might be for good reason. One NFL insider believes Howard can safely be classified as a steal when comparing his potential to where he was selected at No. 185 overall.
“During the season, I’ll be very blunt. I was like, I feel like Will Howard is always coming up a second late or an inch short. And then the playoff run happened, and I mean, he played outstanding throughout the entire course of the playoffs,” said Underdog’s James Palmer via 93.
