Will HowardQBPIT
Howard is competing with Mason Rudolph for the backup quarterback role. Despite having zero career NFL snaps, he is still in the first half of a dirt-cheap rookie deal and technically has more upside than Rudolph simply by nature of being a complete NFL unknown. His college career projects him as the sort of capable, long-term QB2 he was seemingly drafted to be. If he can draw even with Rudolph over the summer, he'll make a strong case to stick around on the 53-man roster.
