When the Pittsburgh Steelers called Will Howard’s name on Saturday, it wasn’t just a life-changing moment for the quarterback. It was a moment of pure joy for everyone who has been in his corner, especially his girlfriend, Skyler Skoglund.

Moments after Howard was drafted 185th overall, Skoglund captured the excitement in a simple but powerful way. She posted a photo of Howard celebrating with his former Ohio State teammate Jack Sawyer, marking a new beginning for the two close friends and now, Steelers teammates. In one shot, Skoglund summed up what words sometimes can’t: pride, happiness, and a whole lot of love.

Howard’s journey to the NFL has been anything but easy. He started at Kansas State, transferred to Ohio State, and in just one season, helped lead the Buckeyes to a national title. His numbers spoke for themselves- 4,010 yards, 35 touchdowns, and a 73.1 percent completion rate, but it was his grit and leadership that made the biggest impression.

Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith pointed exactly to that after the pick.
“You see him in the big moments of critical possession downs, even in the national championship game, momentum plays to kind of end the game,” Smith said. “Extremely excited to work with Will.”

Howard called reuniting with Sawyer a “dream come true,” telling reporters, “Jack and I are about as close as two guys could be. I always said throughout this process, one of these Ohio State guys, I’m going to end up with one of them. And man, I’m so glad that Captain Jack and I are going to Pittsburgh together.”

Now, Howard steps into the NFL with a familiar face by his side and the full support of those who have believed in him every step of the way. Skoglund’s quiet celebration on social media showed just how much this moment means for Howard and everyone who helped him get here.

The road to an NFL career is never a straight line. But with hard work, talent, and a strong circle around him, Will Howard looks more than ready for what’s next.
