🏈 Former Ohio State quarterback Will Howard was hoping the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to draft him.
“I was hoping in my heart that they’d pick me. I know on that like ‘Hey Rookie’ show they showed a clip of me begging Pittsburgh to pick me just cause it’s a long three days and you never know what’s gonna happen, but I’m blessed man. I could not be in a better place, and Pittsburgh is gonna get my all every single day,” Howard said at Steelers rookie training camp on Friday.
🏈 Will Howard feels like the culture in Pittsburgh fits him perfectly.
“The culture, it just fits who I am as a person and who I am as a player. It’s close to home, I got a lot of connections to Pittsburgh. Coach Mike Tomlin, I wanted to play for him. Arthur and coach Arth. I knew coach Arth, he recruited me at Akron, and one of his players from John Carroll University coached me at Ohio State last year, so I have a lot of connections with him,” Howard said. “It’s just, everything kind of fell into place. As the draft went on, you never know where you’re gonna end up, but you keep a little spot in your heart for where you really wanna go, and I had a little soft spot for Pittsburgh.”
🏈 New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr announced his retirement after 11 seasons. Carr’s career ended early as a result of a right shoulder injury.
“Upon reflection of prayer, and in discussion with Heather, I’ve decided to retire from the National Football League,” Carr said in a statement. “For more than 11 years, we have been incredibly blessed, and we are forever grateful and humbled by this experience. It’s difficult to find the right words to express our thanks to all the teammates, coaches, management, ownership, team officials and especially the fans who made this journey so special. Your unwavering support has meant the world to us.”
With Carr retired, the Saints’ quarterback room now features rookie Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener.
