Steelers Draft Penn State's Drew Allar

0:00On April 26, Pittsburgh Steelers just snagged Penn State quarterback Drew Aller with the 76 overall pick in the third round of the 20. 26 NFL Draft. Fans figured they'd grab a signal caller, and now Aller's setting up a real competition with Will Howard for that future starting spot under center. This pick hits close to home since Aller's an in-state guy from Pennsylvania, but his ties to the Steelers go way back. Quarterbacks coach Tom Arth, first spotted him in high school while coaching an Akron and even offered a scholarship back then. Arth's hyped about it, saying he's tracked a lot since the kid was 14 or 15 years old. He calls Aller's arm effortless, able to hit every throw out there and praises his underrated athleticism too. In college, Aller racked up 61 touchdowns against just 13 picks. Coaches like Arth and headman Mike McCarthy see plenty of upside, but they'll need to sharpen his footwork and choices when plays break down. That battle at quarterback shapes up as the Steelers build for tomorrow, keeping black and gold nation buzzing all off season long.
