The Pittsburgh Steelers don't have a final answer on who's playing quarterback next season, but if it comes down to rookie Will Howard, some feel like the team is in great hands.
The Steelers are still playing the long waiting game with free agent veteran Aaron Rodgers, who has yet to sign a contract to wear the black and gold in 2025.
There's a chance that he won't. Which means the team would have to find an answer elsewhere - perhaps a trade for Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins - or rely on Howard.
Bleacher Report's James Palmer thinks that Howard's upside is so high, he compared him to a Super Bowl-winning quarterback in the state of Pennsylvania.
"Will Howard has some traits that some people really, really liked in this draft," Palmer said. "Big, strong, athletic guy. There was one comment that I thought was interesting. Somebody compared him, when I was talking in the draft process, to Jalen Hurts. Just kind of in terms of the physicality and the size he can run with. I think Hurts is a better athlete out in space, but I just thought that was interesting that somebody brought that up."
The Steelers picked up Howard in the sixth round of this year's NFL Draft with the No. 185 overall pick. If he can turn into anything close to Hurts, a second-round pick in 2020, then Pittsburgh will have found a gem in the late rounds.
He could also make Steelers fans forget that they ever thought about signing Rodgers.
