If you asked the Pittsburgh Steelers what their favorite college football conference was in 2024, there’s a good chance they’d say the Big Ten. Pittsburgh used nearly all of its draft selections on players from the conference. Two of those came from Ohio State in QB Will Howard and EDGE Jack Sawyer.
Those two accomplished a lot together last season, helping the Buckeyes win the national championship. Entering an unsettled quarterback room in 2025, Howard brings that winning mentality with him, which is something Steelers linebacker Payton Wilson likes as he told Beanie Bishop Jr. in a video recently posted to Bishop’s YouTube channel.
