2025 Projections
Set to learn from Rodgers as rookie
Howard is slated to begin the 2025 season as the Steelers' No. 3 quarterback after the team signed Aaron Rodgers on Saturday, Jacob Punturi of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After winning the national championship during his lone season at Ohio State in 2024, Howard was selected by the Steelers in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Rodgers and the Steelers had been continually linked in rumors during the offseason, but if a deal between the two sides hadn't materialized, Howard could have had an opportunity to compete with Mason Rudolph for a starting role. Instead, Howard will turn his focus toward a developmental role in 2025, but Rodgers said Tuesday that he plans to help the rookie as much as possible this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wants to bring edge to QB position
Howard, whom the Steelers selected out of Ohio State in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, recently said he'd like to bring the same type of grit and energy he feels Ben Roethlisberger once did to the quarterback position in Pittsburgh, Christian Gonzales of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard is currently competing with veterans Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson for positioning on the quarterback depth chart, with the specter of a possible Aaron Rodgers signing still hanging over the franchise as well. In his appearance on the Up & Adams show, Howard focused primarily on the potential of bringing a Roethlisberger-like edge and blue-collar mentality to the team, although he added he would also cherish the opportunity to learn from Rodgers if he eventually joins the quarterback room.
