Aaron Rodgers joined the Pittsburgh Steelers with a clear mission: to mentor rookie QB Will Howard, selected in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. During minicamp, Howard expressed gratitude for Rodgers’ willingness to guide him. “Having an open seat next to me, Aaron came in, and I thought it was pretty cool that he was willing to sit next to me. Even on Day 1, he already had questions that we hadn’t gone over yet… I was surprised that Aaron Rodgers was asking me questions and I was able to answer them,” Howard shared with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.\n\nThe 2025 season is pivotal for Howard as he sits behind either Rodgers or Mason Rudolph, already learning invaluable lessons. Howard noted, “He’s been so awesome to me, especially these past few days. I feel like we already have a good connection in the QB room. Aaron has been open to helping me at my pace. He’s shared tips on various aspects of the game, and I appreciate how valuable that is.” Howard’s excitement is palpable as he prepares to absorb everything he can from one of the game’s legends.
