A quarterback was among the picks the Steelers made during the final day of the NFL draft on Saturday. The team selected Ohio State quarterback Will Howard in the sixth round, who won the College Football Playoff National Championship in January.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to get ‘big and physical’ in the 2025 NFL Draft, and they did just that. With seven selections, Pittsburgh ended up with three players on their defensive line, while trying to strengthen their special teams core in the later rounds.

The Pittsburgh Steelers opted not to take a quarterback until the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft. Despite having multiple opportunities to take Shedeur Sanders, Jalen Milroe, or any of the other quarterback prospects, the Steelers opted to wait and draft Ohio State signal caller Will Howard.
