A third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Allar will battle to be the primary backup for Aaron Rodgers. He is not worth drafting outside of Dynasty leagues. Allar came to Penn State as an elite five-star prospect but never lived up to the hype. The Steelers are attempting to rebuild his mechanics and get the most out of him. Allar has great size and arm strength and an impressive high school pedigree, so it wouldn't be a shock to see him put it together at the NFL level. Contributing in 2026 seems like a long shot, but keep his potential in mind if you play in Dynasty leagues.

Steelers' Drew Allar: Produces three TDs in preseason win
Rotowire
Allar completed 10 of 13 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns while adding two rushing yards and another TD on two carries in Thursday's 28-9 preseason win over the Packers.
The rookie third-round pick didn't see the field until late in the third quarter after Mason Rudolph and Will Howard had both gotten work under center, but Allar had the best night of any Steelers QB. Allar scored on a three-yard run to cap his first possession of the game before tossing a five-yard TD to Kaden Wetjen and a four-yard score to Riley Nowakowski in the fourth quarter. Aaron Rodgers is the unquestioned starter for Pittsburgh and Rudolph seems locked in as the top backup, but the team seems likely to keep both Howard and Allar on the roster rather than risk losing one of them to another team.
