Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger wants to see new Steelers quarterback Will Howard play free. During the latest episode of ‘Footbahlin,’ Roethlisberger sent some simple advice to Howard, and that was to play free football with no pressure on his shoulders.

Will Howard, the quarterback out of Ohio State, was the pick for the Steelers. He is fresh off of leading the Buckeyes to a national championship win last year, and his draft stock took a huge rise from where it had been at the start of the 2024 college football season.

As Will Howard fell in the 2025 NFL Draft, a behind the scenes video showed that he begged the Steelers to draft him.
