▶️ Drew Allar highlights

The Steelers selected Penn State quarterback Drew Allar with the 76th overall pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Allar appeared in 45 games for Penn States, starting 35. He completed 633 passes for 7,402 yards and 61 touchdowns in four seasons for the Nittany Lions. "Very excited to have Drew in our room," said Tom Arth, the Steelers quarterbacks coach. "Drew's a young man who I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to get to know since he was pretty young. I was coaching in college in Ohio at the University of Akron when Drew was in high school, so I've been watching Drew since he probably 14 or 15 years old. "You saw the talent, you saw the ability, you certainly saw the stature and all of those things. To see what he's accomplished and how far he's come is really special for me. Now to have the chance to have him here in Pittsburgh and in our quarterback room I think is outstanding." He had his best season in 2024 when he started all 16 games, completing 262 of 394 passes, 66.5%, for 3,327 yards and 24 touchdowns. Arth likes the measurables Allar brings and thinks that will be a big asset to the quarterback room. "He's 6-5, 235 pounds and he has big hands," said Arth. "I think what's most exciting when you're talking about the quarterback position is can this guy throw the football and I think he throws it as well as any quarterback in this draft class. He has an effortless arm. He can make every single throw on the field and he's a better athlete than I think he's given credit for." The pick was announced by Joey Porter Sr. and Joey Porter Jr., who played at Penn State with Allar. #HereWeGo #Steelers #NFL Watch more on Steelers.com
