It’s been dark times for the Pittsburgh Steelers at quarterback since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger. 2025 will mark the fourth straight season since Big Ben’s retirement that Pittsburgh will have a new starting quarterback. IN just a month, the Steelers will get together for training camp and will have four brand new quarterbacks on the roster compared to last season. Is this a recipe for mediocrity, or will this new mix be the formula that finally gets the Steelers out of their playoff slump?

Aaron Rodgers

After courting each other for all of the offseason, Rodgers finally signed with the Steelers just before mandatory minicamp. Rodgers can still play but he’s simply a one-year stopgap player at the end of his career. Rodgers is in a different spot than Russell Wilson was last season as he’s completely unopposed for the starting job, you have to wonder how hard he’s going to work for the team or if he will serve as any sort of mentor for the young players.

Mason Rudolph

Rudolph re-signed with the Steelers in the offseason and brought the same level of maturity and professionalism he had during his first tenure with the team. Rudolph spent all of the offseason prior to the Rodgers signing preparing to be the starting and we expect him to spend every day at training camp working like he is the starter to do the best for his team.

Will Howard

Howard was taken in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft and we appreciate the level of humility and effort Howard is showing. It’s a long shot that he overtakes Rudolph but with most reports centering on the Steelers going all-in for a quarterback in 2026, Howard knows he has to outwork everything to have a future with the Steelers.

Skyler Thompson

Thompson was the first of the Steelers new quarterbacks this offseason but will also be the first one released. Pittsburgh only carries three quaterbacks so the best thing Thompson can do at training camp is to play well enough to catch the eye of another team.
