Howard led the Ohio State Buckeyes to the College Football Playoff National Championship just a few months ago. He was named the Offensive MVP of the title game after completing 17 of 21 pass attempts and throwing for 231 yards and two touchdowns versus Notre Dame.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Ohio State QB Will Howard with the No. 185 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Will Howard is a physically talented quarterback with dual-threat playmaking abilities.

Leading up to the draft, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made it clear that they plan to add two more quarterbacks before camp. Pittsburgh now has Howard, Mason Rudolph, and Skylar Thompson, but lacks a starter to rely on after making Howard the only quarterback they took in the draft.
