If you were on the fence about Will Howard earning a roster spot with the Pittsburgh Steelers, you can already put those worries to bed. As a sixth-round pick, the Ohio State championship QB wasn't guaranteed to make the initial 53-man roster. But after the latest news, he's essentially a roster lock.
On Tuesday, the Steelers dropped their initial 2025 preseason depth chart. As expected, Aaron Rodgers was listed as the starting quarterback, with veteran Mason Rudolph as the second string. But instead of listing the 28-year-old Skylar Thompson as the third-string QB to begin the preseason, the Steelers are already giving this spot to Howard.
