The Pittsburgh Steelers added depth to their quarterback room this Saturday, drafting Will Howard out of Ohio State.

Howard started his college career at Kansas State before transferring to Ohio State. In his only season with the Buckeyes, he completed 73.1 percent of his passes for 4,010 yards with 35 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He helped lead Ryan Day’s program to the national title, making a plethora of clutch throws during the College Football Playoff.

Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith highlighted Howard’s ability to perform well in crunch time as one of his strengths.

“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.”

After the Steelers selected Howard with the 185th overall pick, his girlfriend had a subtle but sweet reaction to him heading to the Pittsburgh.

Howard’s girlfriend, Skyler Skoglund, shared a photo of him celebrating with former Ohio State teammate Jack Sawyer.

The Steelers selected Howard’s college teammate in the fourth round. They’re thrilled about reuniting in the pros.

“Jack and I are about as close as two guys could be,” Howard told reporters. “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.”

Howard and Sawyer played pivotal roles on the Buckeyes this past season. Not only were they incredibly productive, they were outstanding leaders.

Will these Ohio State stars lead the Steelers to a Super Bowl title? We’re not sure, but this is a pretty cool story nonetheless.

Congratulations to Howard and Sawyer on making it to the NFL.
