The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Ohio State QB Will Howard, as well as teammate Jack Sawyer—but is he “the guy”? As a sixth-round pick, history doesn’t favor that being the case, but he’ll have a chance to prove himself. He was the guy last year for the Buckeyes, however, and Sawyer recalled when he first realized that.
For context, while Sawyer spent his whole career at Ohio State, Will Howard only arrived in 2024. He entered the transfer portal after four years at Kansas State, the Buckeyes having a need at quarterback. USC and Miami also pursued him, but Howard knew Ohio State was the best opportunity.
