From Bryan DeArdo at CBS Sports:

While Aaron Rodgers isn’t his teammate yet, Will Howard still has an opportunity to talk to a future Hall of Fame quarterback since the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him.

Howard recently shared that he has had frequent conversations with former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger since Pittsburgh selected him in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. In fact, Howard’s first week as a Steeler included an appearance on Roethlisberger’s podcast along with fellow Steelers rookie and former Ohio State teammate Jack Sawyer.

Howard had a solid career at Kansas State, but things didn’t really take off for him until his final year in college while playing at Ohio State. After a loss to Michigan at the end of the regular season, Howard and his teammates went off in the College Football Playoff. In four consecutive wins that culminated in a national championship, Howard completed 75.2% of his passes with eight touchdowns and just two picks.
