With the Steelers still failing to select a quarterback on Day 3 of the NFL Draft this past weekend, Ohio State signal caller Will Howard was urging the franchise to pick him in the sixth round. "Please pick me, Pittsburgh," Howard said in front of cameras.

After the draft concluded in Green Bay on Sunday, Mark Murphy, the Packers' president and CEO, was joined by other Packers and Steelers representatives as the Packers handed the ball off to the Steelers, effectively starting the timer until Pittsburgh plays host to the NFL Draft in 2026.

Leading up to the draft, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made it clear that they plan to add two more quarterbacks before camp. Pittsburgh now has Howard, Mason Rudolph, and Skylar Thompson, but lacks a starter to rely on after making Howard the only quarterback they took in the draft.
