How often does a National Championship-winning quarterback fall far in the draft? Usually, you’d think a title-winning quarterback would be a lock for the first round. But not new Pittsburgh Steelers QB Will Howard.
Despite winning the National Championship with Ohio State last year, Howard fell all the way to the sixth round. He was the eighth quarterback drafted, behind players like former Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel and former Syracuse (and Ohio State) QB Kyle McCord. Could waiting to the sixth round hurt Howard’s confidence?
Probably not. Because it’s certainly not the first time Howard has dealt with trouble.
