ā€œI feel like to be in the NFL, you’re always fighting for a job no matter what. If you’re not on your game one day, you know you can be gone. It’s a business. The things that I went through and learned how to push through adversity and how to come back from bad things, I learned so much.ā€

The Steelers are looking to win their first Super Bowl in over 16 years and, in a move that has surprised both fans and experts, the team has waited a long time for Rodgers to make a final decision. Despite that, they are also searching for the franchise quarterback of the future, and that’s where Howard wants to prove he deserves a chance.

Who will be Steelers’ starting quarterback?

Aaron Rodgers has an offer to be the starting quarterback for the Steelers, but if he declines, Pittsburgh could have a competition between Mason Rudolph and Will Howard during training camp and preseason.

Although Mason would have the edge due to his experience and familiarity with the team, Howard could be a surprise. The Ohio State prospect says he’s ready to play under pressure for one of the NFL’s most storied franchises.
