The Pittsburgh Steelers might have discovered their future quarterback in Will Howard, and his girlfriend Skyler Skoglund expressed her enthusiasm on Instagram. Pittsburgh chose the Ohio State Buckeyes star with the overall No. 185 pick in the sixth round.
Skoglund has played a significant role in Howard’s path to securing a national championship and the complete pre-draft procedures. Howard’s girlfriend just uploaded pictures from a beach getaway featuring a distinct message about her preferred quarterback.
“Wherever you are,” Skoglund remarked in a March 31 post on Instagram. As soon as the Steelers selected Howard, Skoglund shared multiple graphics on her Instagram Story on Saturday.
Howard will be accompanied in Pittsburgh by his former Ohio State teammate Jack Sawyer. Skoglund shared a humorous picture of Howard motivating Sawyer on the sideline during the team’s Cotton Bowl game against the Texas Longhorns.
Howard’s girlfriend similarly shared the Steelers’ official graphic revealing the team chose the quarterback in the sixth round.
Regarding Howard’s prospects of starting immediately, the Steelers have a clearer path to the starting quarterback position compared to many NFL teams. Mason Rudolph is presently the frontrunner to be the Steelers’ starting quarterback, but Howard may seek to compete with the veteran.
The perspective might shift if Aaron Rodgers chooses to extend his playing career with the Steelers.
Skoglund and Howard seem to be thrilled about the quarterback’s transition to the Steelers. Pittsburgh supporters are wishing that Howard can assist the Steelers in achieving similar success to what the Buckeyes experienced with the quarterback leading the team.
