The Pittsburgh Steelers are not depending upon Will Howard developing into their franchise quarterback, but he does fit their profile. He has a lot of games under his belt, working in a big program, and he won. On top of that, he is a bigger body type with a deep ball, even with not the biggest arm. In the sixth round, it’s hard to pass up the opportunity to see what’s there.
“I think that it was a great value pick”, ESPN reporter Brooke Pryor said of the Steelers drafting Howard in the sixth round on the Bishop and Friends podcast.
