It's April 26th. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where the league meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Pittsburgh Steelers grabbed Penn State quarterback Drew Aller with the 76 pick in the 2026 NFL draft yesterday afternoon. Fans see it as a smart long-term move to build behind Aaron Rodgers, but not everyone's on board with the choice on day two. A USA Today writer, Michael Middlehurst Schwartz, ripped the pick hard, calling the Steelers one of the drafts big losers.

His junior year exploded with over 3,300 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and a college football playoff semi-final birth. Then a brutal injury wrecked his senior season, dropping his stock big time. That combined performance turned heads though, putting him back on radars and landing him in Pittsburgh. Scouts like his Raw Tools, even if the injury clouds things. We'll see if the doubters are

right as Aller develops behind the vets. Steelers fans, stay patient. This could be the steel of the draft or swing and miss.
