Steelers veteran confident in Will Howard as starting quarterback
Pittsburgh Steelers veteran defensive tackle Cameron Heyward is confident in Will Howard if he's asked to become the starting quarterback.
Many quarterbacks don't have the opportunity to learn under a future Hall of Famer as accomplished as Aaron Rodgers like Will Howard did in 2025 ā and that's exactly why one Pittsburgh Steelers veteran is excited for what the future holds. On Friday, veteran defensive tackle Cam Heyward shared thoughts on Howard and his place in Pittsburgh's quarterback room, expressing confidence in the young signal caller heading into 2026. "Aaron's been a big fan of Will," Heyward said via The Rich Eisen Show.
"Watched him from afar and watched him grow this year. Will is always going to compete. Will has always had the chips stacked against him.
And now he's going into a year where there's a little uncertainty. Obviously, everybody wants Aaron back, but if you do go in a direction where you have Will, you feel pretty confident. " "Aaron's been a big fan of Will [Howard].
