He and longtime girlfriend Skyler Skoglund shared the joyful update late last night, announcing that they’ve “always dreamed of a big family” and that “the time has come.”
But the celebration took a strange, controversial turn when Howard followed it up with a cryptic statement about his football career—one that has left fans and analysts stunned.
🍼 “Football Isn’t Forever… But Legacy Is” — Will Howard
In an emotional video posted to Instagram, the couple is seen holding up a baby onesie with a Steelers logo. The caption reads:
“We’ve always wanted a big family. And now we begin. 💛🖤”
But then, Will added: “The game’s not done with me yet. But maybe I’m done playing by the rules.”
💣 That one sentence has exploded across sports media.
💬 Fans Can’t Decide If He’s Hinting at Retirement, Trade… or Something Bigger
Speculation has hit overdrive:
-
“Is he about to retire early like Andrew Luck?”
-
“Is this a subtle jab at the Steelers organization?”
-
“Did fatherhood just change his entire mindset overnight?”
-
“Or is he just rebranding for something… off the field?”
The post has already reached 3 million views in under 12 hours and the comments are a warzone between Steelers loyalists, sports psychologists, and curious fans from across the league.
📉 Career in Question? Or Just a New Chapter?
Will Howard’s rise with the Steelers has been nothing short of meteoric.
Now, with a baby on the way and a cryptic tone that suggests change, people are wondering:
Is he stepping away? Is he planning a shocking move? Or is this just the calm before a stormy comeback?
Some believe it’s calculated PR. Others think it’s a genuine fork in the road for a young player grappling with fame, fatherhood, and the pressures of a brutal league.
🔥 What’s Really Going On?
Insiders close to the Steelers locker room say the team was “blindsided” by the post.
One anonymous coach said:
“We knew about the baby. But not that… tone. Something’s up.”
Meanwhile, teammates have responded with love and confusion—several reposting the baby announcement, others going silent.
