Pittsburgh Steelers Draft Drew Allar for Future QB

0:00On April 25, Drew Aller wrapped up his Penn State career on a rough note with a broken ankle that limited him to just six games in his senior year. That dropped his draft stock after strong sophomore and junior seasons, but the Pittsburgh Steelers still grabbed him in the third round, 12. Pick 76 overall, solid spot for a quarterback with upside. The Steelers are eyeing the future behind Aaron Rogers, who they might sign this off-season to start in 2026 as he hits age 43. Fans could hang it up anytime, so they needed successor. They took Will Howard in the sixth round last year, and like his potential, but drafting Aller shows their investing more seriously. Fans and Scouts see Aller as a project with NFL size, a cannon arm, and some wheels from his Penn State days. His big knocks are consistency and accuracy, issues that linger through college without much fix in those final games. Now in Pittsburgh, Aller gets time to polish those skills without the spotlight of a top pick.
