"You have to assume that since the Steelers waited until the sixth round to select Will Howard that they aren't relying on him to be the starter," Lazenby wrote. "Mason Rudolph also shouldn't be trusted to be the starter, so it's safe to assume Aaron Rodgers will end up being the guy."

Though, NFL Network’s insider Ian Rapoport still believes the Steelers are where Rodgers will end up once things settle down. Here’s what he had to say during a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. “The Steelers are confident and they think that Aaron Rodgers will be in Pittsburgh.. I think that he will be a member of the Steelers.”

For a piece published late Sunday night, ESPN's Brooke Pryor made note of the Pittsburgh Steelers "passing on a quarterback four times before finally selecting 24-year-old developmental prospect Will Howard out of Ohio State in the sixth round" of the 2025 NFL Draft.
