Drew Allar drafted by Steelers: QB added as team awaits Aaron Rodgers decision
Drew Allar was drafted by the Steelers in the 2026 NFL Draft. Here's a look at where he lands on the depth chart and impacts Aaron Rodgers.
Is Drew Allar the NFL's next big thing? Well, one fanbase certainly hopes so. The Penn State quarterback has been selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the No.
76 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. It's one of the more exciting picks from the class, considering where Allar was rated ahead of the 2025 season. The former Nittany Lions quarterback didn't do himself any favors last season, but there's no question he possesses all the tools for success.
After all, there's a reason why many like to throw the Josh Allen comparison around. Ranked as the fifth-best quarterback on USA TODAY Sports' big board, Allar possesses the size (6-foot-5, 235 pounds) and arm talent to become a superstar, but it all comes down to fit. If the quarterback meshes well with the coaching staff and collection of weapons, he is in line for great success at the next level.
Any great collection of tools can build something breathtaking, but it can also be dangerous. The focus will be on the coaching staff, but much of that also comes down to the user. If Allar puts it all together, he'll have one happy group of fans and the wins to back it up.
