Despite being a sixth-round pick, the hype among Pittsburgh Steelers fans for quarterback Will Howard is unwavering. But what other fanbases may see as blind hope is quickly being justified as Howard continues to shine at Steelers training camp.
Of course, as a player competing at the bottom of the QB depth chart, he has to make the most of every rep. But Steelers fans have already seen that with his cadence alerting a blitzing nickel corner and delivering clean passes throughout team drills.
That’s why it isn’t much surprise that Will Howard received most of the reps with the third string ahead of Skylar Thompson in Friday’s practice, according to Nick Farabaugh.
