Jets Scout Drew Allar for Quarterback Depth

0:00It's March 23rd. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The New York Jets are ramping up their scouting for the 2026 NFL draft, with plenty of prospects to watch over the next month. Their first pick will likely target a defensive player like Arville Reese or David Bailey. Landing a wire receiver such as Jordan Tyson at Pick 16 would be a huge score for the team. Fans surfaced this weekend that the Jets held a private workout with Penn State Quarterback Drew Aller and other Ninety Lions players. Team decision-makers watched him throw to his college receivers, giving them a clear look at his skills ahead of pro days. Fans and analysts see Aller as an intriguing option because of his college track record. In 2024, he threw for over 3,300 yards and 24 touchdowns. An ankle injury limited him to just six games last year, with about 1,100 yards, eight scores, and five picks. ESPN ranks Aller as the number six quarterback prospect and number 166 overall in the

1:03class. Many believe the injury dropped his stock, making him a smart mid-round gamble with real upside. If the Jets want quarterback depth behind Geno Smith, grabbing Aller late could let him compete in training camp and grow into a bigger role down the line.
