The Pittsburgh Steelers still have a quarterback conundrum. That will be the case until Aaron Rodgers signs with the team or they move on and roll with Will Howard to see if he can play.
If it’s going to be Will Howard’s turn under center in Pittsburgh, he could be pretty well prepared, as he’s getting some additional help this offseason.

Howard revealed that legendary Pittsburgh quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger has been helping him this offseason.
“We actually have the same agent, so we got connected through that,” Howard said on Up & Adams. “He’s been really good. He’s been super supportive of me through this whole process. Throughout now being a Steeler, getting to know him, he’s been really helpful for me. He texted me checking last week, you know, just been a really good mentor. I can see him being a good mentor for me going forward. He’s been super nice to me so far.”
Howard admitted that he admired Roethlisberger growing up.
“Growing up for me, watching Pittsburgh, it was Big Ben,” Howard said. “Big Ben was that guy. He was Pittsburgh. He was the Steel City, the blue collar, the gritty guy. And I want to be that too. I want to bring that edge, that energy. I think I did a pretty good job of it Ohio State. I like to kind of pride myself on that, and I’m going to try and bring it to the Steel City.”

While we still don’t know what will happen under center for the Steelers in 2025, it’s good to know that if it’s Howard, he’s got major support from a Pittsburgh legend.
