In a turn of events that’s sending ripples through Steelers Nation, the Pittsburgh Steelers have made a major announcement regarding rookie quarterback Will Howard, prompting a heartfelt and public reaction from his girlfriend, Skyler Skoglund.
The franchise officially confirmed today that Howard, a promising talent out of Kansas State known for his arm strength and poise under pressure, will be stepping into a significant role this coming season. While the team hasn’t declared him the starter outright, insiders suggest Howard is on a fast track to becoming a major presence on the depth chart, possibly pushing for QB1 status during training camp.
Shortly after the news broke, Skyler Skoglund, a lifestyle influencer and longtime supporter of Howard’s career, took to social media to share her thoughts. In a candid Instagram story, she wrote, “Beyond proud of Will. The grind, the patience, the faith—it’s all showing up now. Steelers Nation, you’ve got a real one.”
Skoglund, who has been a fixture at Howard’s games both in college and now as he makes the leap to the NFL, also posted a photo of the two at Acrisure Stadium with the caption: “Big things coming. Let’s go, black & gold!” Her enthusiasm quickly caught the attention of fans, with many praising her support and passion for the team.
Reactions across Steelers Nation have been equally electric. Howard’s combination of athleticism and leadership has excited fans eager for a new era at quarterback. While it remains to be seen how he’ll handle the transition to pro-level defenses, the backing from both his inner circle and a growing base of fans bodes well for his confidence heading into OTAs.
Team officials remain tight-lipped about the full depth chart plans, but one thing is clear: the Howard-Skoglund duo is fast becoming a storyline to watch both on and off the field as the Steelers prepare for a pivotal season.
Will the young quarterback live up to the hype? Steelers Nation is ready—and Skyler Skoglund is already leading the cheer.
