Overview
- Angelichio, in a Friday pre-draft press conference, singled out second-year QB Will Howard when asked what excites him about the offense.
- He said Howard has impressed in meetings for his clear communication and grasp of the scheme, while noting they have not worked together on the field yet.
- Team leaders, including head coach Mike McCarthy, have also praised Howard this offseason, reinforcing the staff’s interest in developing him.
- Rodgers remains unsigned, and reporting says Howard and Mason Rudolph would compete to start Week 1 if he does not return.
- Several outlets expect Pittsburgh to draft a quarterback in 2026, and how early they pick could indicate their confidence in Howard, whose Ohio State résumé includes a 2024 national title, 4,010 yards, 35 TDs, and Offensive MVP honors.
