Will Steelers Keep Four Quarterbacks? In a Crowded Field, Allar, Howard and Rudolph Impress During Preseason Play
Coach Mike McCarthy has a problem that needs solving: Who will come out of preseason play on the Steelers’ roster?
Aaron Rodgers has ruled out preseason appearances, allowing other quarterbacks to showcase their skills. As a result, Drew Allar, Will Howard and Mason Rudolph could potentially all earn roster spots. Drew Allar, a 2026 NFL Draft pick from Penn State, completed 153 yards, two passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown against the Packers.
His performance suggests he could be a strong backup option. Will Howard, a sixth-round draft pick from Kansas State and Ohio State, led the offense on a successful two-minute drill that scored the game's first touchdown. He also had 86 total yards. Mason Rudolph, a veteran returning to Pittsburgh, threw for 93 yards and nine touchdowns in his career with the Steelers and Titans.
The Steelers now face the challenge of determining which quarterback will make the team after preseason play.
