Behind the Steel Curtain on Drew Allar
From the article
Allar underwent significant changes to his processing and footwork during OTAs and minicamp, being broken down and built back up again by new head coach Mike McCarthy... In 45 career games, 35 starts from his sophomore to senior year, Allar threw for 7,402 yards, 61 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions... McCarthy had success working with Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott, and other quarterbacks in the past to get the most out of their potential. Allar has all the tools necessary to be a starting quarterback, but significant work remains.
STACKED’s take
Allar refining footwork and processing under McCarthy; strong college efficiency but needs clutch-game development.
Third-round pick Allar is undergoing significant processing and footwork refinement under new head coach Mike McCarthy during training camp. McCarthy has a track record of developing quarterbacks (Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott). Allar's college career showed strong completion percentage (63.2%, first all-time at Penn State) and efficiency (7,402 yards, 61 TDs, 13 INTs in 45 games, 35 starts), though accuracy and clutch performances in big games were concerns. McCarthy's emphasis on detail-oriented work and intentional footwork/reads in individual drills is reshaping Allar's approach; Allar stated the biggest lesson is having "a purpose behind every rep." Allar has "all the tools necessary to be a starting quarterback," though significant work remains. First preseason appearance scheduled for August 13 vs. Green Bay at home.
