The Pittsburgh Steelers waited longer than some thought they would, but the team drafted a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting Ohio State’s Will Howard. For Howard, it was a dream accomplished, being able to hear your name called and become an NFL player. But for him, it was extra exciting going to the Steelers, the team that Howard said he really wanted to end up with. On the latest episode of Ben Roethlisberger’s Footbahlin podcast, Howard said that there was “something about” the Steelers organization that made him want to end up in Pittsburgh.
