The Pittsburgh Steelers came away from the 2025 preseason satisfied at the quarterback position for the first time in a long time. Still, the bottom of the depth chart remains a murky issue headed into the regular season.
Sixth-round pick Will Howard appeared to have the third-string job locked up before the preseason game began, but an untimely broken pinky on his throwing hand derailed his opportunity to perform in an NFL stadium.
In his relief, Skylar Thompson picked up the slack and then some, orchestrating the offense well for most of the Steelers’ offensive possessions throughout the preseason.
