"You have to assume that since the Steelers waited until the sixth round to select Will Howard that they aren't relying on him to be the starter," Lazenby wrote. "Mason Rudolph also shouldn't be trusted to be the starter, so it's safe to assume Aaron Rodgers will end up being the guy."

Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers may be waiting for Aaron Rodgers, but that hasn't prevented them from releasing a familiar face for the four-time NFL MVP.

Passing on a QB four times before selecting developmental prospect Will Howard in the sixth round suggests the Steelers are still hoping Rodgers ends up in Pittsburgh.
