🏈 CBS Sports tabbed the Pittsburgh Steelers with the worst quarterbacks room in the NFL.

“The Pittsburgh Steelers have the worst quarterback room in the entire NFL after completely turning over at the position in each of the last two years,” Garrett Podell of CBS Sports wrote. “Mason Rudolph, a third-round pick of the Steelers in 2018, returns home after a year away with the Tennessee Titans in 2024. He threw nine touchdowns and nine interceptions across eight played last season, which included five starts.

“Skylar Thompson comes to the Steelers after three seasons as Tua Tagovailoa’s backup with the Miami Dolphins. He has one passing touchdowns and three interceptions in 10 games played, including three starts. The rookie in the room is Will Howard, a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after helping lead Ohio State to a national championship in his fifth season of college football.”

🏈 Gennaro Filice of NFL.com tabbed Will Howard as the Steelers’ best sleep pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

“Like I said above, we all remain on Aaron Rodgers watch, assuming he’ll eventually join this roster. But Howard was discussed as an option for Pittsburgh throughout the pre-draft process, so it wasn’t surprising to see Omar Khan pounce when the quarterback remained available in the sixth round,” Filice wrote. “A physically imposing guy at 6-4, 236 pounds, Howard looks like a Steeler signal-caller. His actual play over four years at Kansas State and one season at Ohio State was uneven, but he certainly finished on a high note, posting sparkling numbers during the Buckeyes’ four-game playoff run to a national title.”
