Who will back up Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2026? That seems to be the question on everyone's mind. But one well-respected insider revealed, between Mason Rudolph and Will Howard, which signal caller has the advantage.
On a new episode of ESPN's NFL Live, insider Jeremy Fowler revealed that one of the quarterbacks competing for the backup role behind Rodgers has an "inside track" to the job.
"The more fascinating subplot is what [the Steelers] do with the other quarterbacks," Fowler said. "Who's gonna be the two? That's what they're working on right now. Will Howard probably has the inside track at that right now. They've been impressed with him."
Howard, selected by the Steelers in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, was expected by some to be the odd man out of Pittsburgh's four-man quarterback room. But Fowler's report that the Steelers have been impressed by him may leave Rudolph on the outside looking in.
