Third-round pick Allar positioned as heir apparent, needs reps to compete in 2027.

Allar, a third-round pick, is positioned as a potential heir apparent at quarterback for the Steelers. He will take third-group reps during training camp. The Steelers face a challenge in getting Allar enough reps to be ready to compete in 2027 while also preparing Aaron Rodgers for his final season and maintaining a backup option. Coach McCarthy emphasized the collective responsibility: 'The responsibility to get the starter ready is not only on the quarterback coach and the play caller, but it's also on the other quarterbacks.'
