What did Dwayne Haskins do to show the Steelers this season he can still be a starter in the NFL? "I have a great relationship with Coach Tomlin and other guys who make decisions here so they can get to know me and my personality. … I think I can throw with the best of them."

The Steelers will most likely look to keep things in house, unless someone like Aaron Rodgers wants to play for them.
