Steelers QB Howard faces make-or-break camp
18 Jul
Summary
- Howard must impress at training camp to secure backup QB role.
- His accuracy and anticipation will be key to proving his arm.
- Howard needs to surpass veteran Mason Rudolph on the depth chart.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Will Howard is under significant pressure as training camp commences. Having lost most of his inaugural season to injury and with the recent drafting of Drew Allar, Howard's future with the team is in question.
To establish himself, Howard needs to showcase his arm's potential, focusing on accuracy and anticipation during the initial days of camp in Latrobe. He will be directly compared to the strong-armed rookie, Allar.
By the conclusion of training camp, Howard's primary objective should be to make veteran Mason Rudolph redundant. Succeeding in this would mean proving to the coaching staff that he is capable of backing up starter Aaron Rodgers and securing a spot on the 53-man roster.
Howard must also build rapport with wide receivers like DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., and Germie Bernard. Earning their trust is crucial; failure to do so could jeopardize his own position on the team, despite Rudolph's established experience.
