The Pittsburgh Steelers are among the teams closely evaluating quarterback prospect Drew Allar at the NFL Scouting Combine, according to a report from PennLive.com. Allar, once considered a potential first overall pick for the 2026 draft, saw his stock fluctuate after a challenging season start and a season-ending ankle injury in October.
Now healthy and expected to participate in throwing drills at the Combine, Allar is a significant point of interest for teams assessing the open quarterback class. The Steelers' quarterback situation remains uncertain, with Aaron Rodgers' future unclear and Mason Rudolph and Will Howard currently on the roster. The team could see value in drafting Allar, even if he is not projected to start immediately as a rookie.
During his Penn State career, Allar completed 63.2% of his passes for 7,402 yards, 61 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, adding 732 rushing yards and 12 scores. He possesses a strong arm and many traits that NFL teams covet in a quarterback.
