Joins Steelers in third round
The Steelers selected Allar (ankle) in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 76th overall.
ANALYSIS
Allar (6-foot-5, 228 pounds) is recovering from season-ending surgery undergone in November to address a broken left ankle. He threw for 1,100 yards, eight touchdowns and three INTs before being injured in 2025 and was inconsistent in that limited action. That said, Allar boasts experience as a three-year collegiate starter to go with prototypical size, and it's difficult to imagine a more intriguing landing spot for the 22-year-old signal-caller than Pittsburgh, where Aaron Rodgers' pending decision about playing the 2026 season looms large. Excepting Rodgers, who currently remains a free agent, the Steelers' quarterback room houses Mason Rudolph and 2025 sixth-round pick Will Howard. In the event that Rodgers isn't Pittsburgh's starter in 2026, it would be intriguing to see a healthy Allar in a genuine competition. It remains to be seen whether Allar will be able to handle any amount of on-field work during the offseason program.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to develop under McCarthy
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com believes Allar will fit nicely with the Steelers under head coach Mike McCarthy, the latter of whom has demonstrated plenty of success in developing quarterbacks.
ANALYSIS
The Steelers' quarterback situation for 2026 is still fluid, as the team continues to wait on a decision from Aaron Rodgers. Grabbing Allar in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft gave Pittsburgh insurance at the position, and if Rodgers doesn't end up suiting up for the Steelers, then Allar would have the opportunity to compete against Mason Rudolph and Will Howard for the starting job. Brooks notes that McCarthy was successful in working with great quarterbacks such as Rodgers in Green Bay and Dak Prescott in Dallas, and that ability to develop quarterbacks could help Allar turn into a starting-caliber QB in the NFL.
