‘Aaron Rodgers QB1, Mason Rudolph QB2, Drew Allar QB3’ — Former Steelers DT Fully Convinced Will Howard Is Out The Door
The Pittsburgh Steelers have plenty to sort out at quarterback before the regular season arrives. With Aaron Rodgers leading the room, Mason Rudolph and Drew Allar are also competing for meaningful roles behind the veteran.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Will Howard's future remains uncertain as he faces a tough battle for roster spots behind veteran Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, and rookie Drew Allar. Former Steelers defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko predicts Howard's departure, projecting him to be traded to the Los Angeles Chargers. This comes as the Steelers grapple with an unusually crowded quarterback room, which now includes four players vying for positions.
Fehoko's projection on X reads: "Aaron Rodgers QB1. Mason Rudolph QB2. Drew Allar QB3. Will Howard traded to the Chargers." Howard, a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from Kansas State, helped Ohio State win the College Football Playoff national championship before moving to the NFL. His preseason debut against the New York Jets was underwhelming, with only 74 passing yards and two interceptions in a 17-0 defeat.
However, his performance in the preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers was more promising, showing potential for improvement. Despite the speculation, Fehoko's prediction doesn't confirm a trade, but the Steelers' next preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on August 27 might be crucial in determining Howard's future.
