Summary
Drew Allar is a physically gifted quarterback who combines an enormous arm with effective mobility. A former five-star recruit out of Ohio, he possesses the raw tools to make elite "big boy" throws at every level of the field. While he can pick defenses apart from a clean pocket, his consistency is often hindered by frenetic footwork and a tendency to speed up under pressure, leaving him as a high-upside prospect still refining his mental game.
About
- Career: Penn State record-holder in completion percentage (63.2%)
- Career: Began career with 311 pass attempts without an INT (FBS record)
Strengths
- Elite arm strength capable of fitting balls into tight windows.
- Exceptional touch on deep balls and red-zone fades.
- Effective straight-line runner who must be accounted for on scrambles.
Weaknesses
- Becomes frenetic and panicky under heavy defensive pressure.
- Inconsistent footwork leads to bouts of inaccuracy.
- Tendency to leave clean pockets prematurely instead of trusting protection.

Steelers' Drew Allar: Participating on first day of OTAs
Allar (ankle) was the fourth quarterback through drills Monday on the first day of OTAs, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Recently signed veteran Aaron Rodgers took first-team reps, followed by Will Howard, Mason Rudolph and Allar. While Allar is starting at the bottom of the quarterback pecking order, it's nonetheless encouraging to see the rookie third-round pick on the field, which suggests that Allar has recovered from November surgery on a broken left ankle, which ended his final season at Penn State.

Steelers' Drew Allar: Joins Steelers in third round
The Steelers selected Allar (ankle) in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 76th overall.
Allar (6-foot-5, 228 pounds) is recovering from season-ending surgery undergone in November to address a broken left ankle. He threw for 1,100 yards, eight touchdowns and three INTs before being injured in 2025 and was inconsistent in that limited action. That said, Allar boasts experience as a three-year collegiate starter to go with prototypical size, and it's difficult to imagine a more intriguing landing spot for the 22-year-old signal-caller than Pittsburgh, where Aaron Rodgers' pending decision about playing the 2026 season looms large. Excepting Rodgers, who currently remains a free agent, the Steelers' quarterback room houses Mason Rudolph and 2025 sixth-round pick Will Howard. In the event that Rodgers isn't Pittsburgh's starter in 2026, it would be intriguing to see a healthy Allar in a genuine competition. It remains to be seen whether Allar will be able to handle any amount of on-field work during the offseason program.
