Kerry Collins: Allar a Potential Steelers Home Run
About this episode
Pittsburgh Steelers new head coach, Mike McCarthy, has made a bold move by drafting Penn State quarterback Drew Allar in the third round. Despite being a Day Three pick, former pro QB Kerry Collins believes Allar could have a successful ten-year career in the NFL. Standing at six feet five inches and weighing 228 pounds, Allar has a powerful arm and impressive college stats, including a 24-8 TD-INT ratio in 2024. Although his 2025 season was cut short due to a broken ankle, McCarthy is confident that Allar will prove to be a valuable addition to the team.

On April 28, Pittsburgh Steelers snacked Penn State Quarterback Drew Aller with their first third round pick, 76 overall in the 20. 26 NFL Draft and one former ProQB is calling it a potential home run. Kerry Collins, who slung it in the league for years, just posted on X that he wouldn't be shocked if Aller sticks around for 10 plus seasons. Allars got the tools at 6 foot 5, 228 pounds, with a cannon for an arm, earning all Big 10 honorable mention in 20. 24, while leading his Nittany Lions to the college football playoff semis. He threw 4, 3,370 yards, 24 touchdowns, and just 8 picks that year, but is 20-25. Season got derailed by a broken left ankle after 6 games, with 1,100 yards, 8 scores, and 3 interceptions. Critics pan the picks since he was pegged as a day 3 guy, yet new head coach Mike McCarthy stepping up to mold him, sounding dead confident.
It'll pay off Big for Pittsburgh down the line.
