Steelers QB Future Looks Bright | Minneapolis News

Aaron Rodgers, at 42, still commands the Steelers’ offense with elite game IQ, while mentoring rising QBs Will Howard and Drew Allar—both showing promise, especially Allar, who could be a future starter. The team now faces a tough decision: keep veteran Mason Rudolph or go with Howard as backup, possibly carrying four QBs. Offensively, Roman Wilson thrives in all three receiver roles, earning Rodgers’ trust, while rookie Germie Bernard emerges as a reliable intermediate target. Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington anchor a solid tight end duo, and the RB committee—led by Rico Dowdle and Jaylen Warren—is still sorting out the third spot. The offensive line boasts a strong left side, but the right side needs work, with rookies Gennings Dunker and Max Iheanachor (recovering from injury) poised to step up. Defensively, Patrick Graham’s unit is clicking, led by T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward, with new energy from Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson. The front seven blends veterans like Keeanu Benton with rising stars like Derrick Harmon and international talent Julius Welschof. The secondary is shaping up with Jalen Ramsey and Joey Porter Jr., while Asante Samuel Jr. is fighting for a starting role after injury setbacks. Young defenders like Gabriel Rubio and Robert Spears-Jennings are key to the team’s long-term success. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
