The Pittsburgh Steelers may have found their quarterback of the future in Will Howard and his girlfriend Skyler Skoglund took to Instagram to share her excitement. Pittsburgh selected the Ohio State Buckeyes standout with the No. 185 overall pick in the sixth round.
Skoglund has been a major part of Howard's journey in winning a national championship and the entire pre-draft process. Howard's girlfriend recently posted photos from a beach trip with a clear message about her favorite quarterback.
"Anywhere with you," Skoglund noted in a March 31, message on Instagram.
Once the Steelers' pick of Howard became official, Skoglund posted several graphics to her Instagram Story on Saturday.

Howard is going to be joined in Pittsburgh by former Ohio State teammate Jack Sawyer . Skoglund posted a funny image of Howard firing up Sawyer on the sideline during the team's Cotton Bowl matchup against the Texas Longhorns.
Howard's girlfriend also reposted the Steelers' official graphic announcing the team selected the quarterback in the sixth round.

As for Howard's chances to play right away, the Steelers have a more open path to the starting quarterback job than most NFL franchises. Mason Rudolph is currently the favorite to be the Steelers starting quarterback, but Howard could look to challenge the veteran.
The outlook could change if Aaron Rodgers opts to continue his playing career with the Steelers.
Skoglund and Howard appear to be excited about the quarterback's move to the Steelers. Pittsburgh fans are hoping Howard can help the Steelers have some of the same success the Buckeyes had with the quarterback under center.
