Pittsburgh used a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft to select Ohio State quarterback Will Howard, adding him to a QB room that includes veteran backups Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson. None of them is considered a viable starter for the 2025 season, leaving the Steelers with no choice but to continue hoping that Rodgers signs with them.

As the four-time MVP continues to not make a final decision, it puts the Steelers in a tricky position with Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson, and Will Howard, who they drafted in the sixth round, as the only quarterbacks heading into 2025.
