Behind the Steel Curtain on Drew Allar
From the article
the rookie out of Penn State who went 10-of-13 for 153 yards, two touchdowns, and an additional score on the ground
STACKED’s take
Allar's preseason debut (10-of-13, 153 yards, 3 TDs) exceeded expectations; QB1 potential in 2027.
The rookie out of Penn State went 10-of-13 for 153 yards, two touchdowns, and an additional score on the ground in his preseason debut. The source notes that Allar practically matched Kenny Pickett's five-drive 2023 preseason performance (13-of-15, 199 yards, 2 TDs) in a single game, and emphasizes that despite competing largely against third-team defense, his performance exceeded expectations. The source credits improved mechanics—throwing motion has less movement, footwork is better—after three months away from Penn State's RPO offense and former coordinator Andy Kotelnicki. The source states: 'He has shown more progression in three months with the Steelers than he did in four years at Penn State' and concludes 'if he continues with this type of play, maybe it'll be enough for the Steelers to give him a real shot to be QB1 in 2027.'
