1 Steelers QB is impressing new offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio

One Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback is turning heads for all the right reasons, leaving new offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio blown away by his development and ability to communicate. Speaking with reporters on Friday, Angelichio praised Steelers 2025 sixth-round quarterback Will Howard and how he's carried himself in the quarterback room. "I really enjoy Will," Angelichio said via reporter Mark Kaboly.

"He's got a great personality. He's been impressive in the quarterback room. Obviously, we haven't gone out on the grass with him, but his ability to communicate, articulate, and pick up the scheme has been really impressive.

With Howard learning under a future Hall of Famer for an entire season, many fans are calling for the young quarterback to receive a starting opportunity in 2026, but it remains to be seen if the position will be up for grabs as the Steelers await an answer from Aaron Rodgers.
