Coming into the draft, many thought the Steelers would consider a quarterback like Shedeur Sanders or Jaxson Dart at the 21st overall pick. Instead of taking that route, the Steelers waited almost as long as possible to find their man, who ended up being Will Howard in the sixth round. Taking a quarterback that late is a low-risk, high-reward scenario, which many teams take towards the last couple of rounds of the draft.
CBS Sports’ Aditi Kinkhabwala spoke on 93.7 The Fan on Wednesday. She appreciated the way the Steelers went about drafting a quarterback.
“They took a shot on a developmental quarterback in Will Howard,” Kinkabwala told Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller.
