ピッツバーグ・スティーラーズは2026年のNFLドラフト3巡目でクォーターバックのドリュー・アラーを指名したが、これに対し元選手やアナリストの間で反応が分かれている。ベン・ロスリスバーガーは今回の指名に留保を示し、6巡目で指名されたウィル・ハワードを高く評価した。アーロン・ロジャースの去就が不透明な中、アラーのポテンシャルについては懐疑的な見方から期待を寄せる声まで意見が割れている。
ベン・ロスリスバーガーはドラフト終了後に出演した自身のポッドキャスト「Footbahlin」において、スティーラーズがペンシルベニア州立大学のクォーターバックであるドリュー・アラーを選択したことに対し、確信を持てない様子を見せた。ロスリスバーガーは「現時点では、この指名を気に入っているのか嫌っているのか、自分でも分からない」と語り、「プレーを見ても、特筆すべき印象は受けなかった」と述べた。さらに約1年前に自身のポッドキャストにゲストとして招いたウィル・ハワードと比較し、ハワードの方が「ビデオ上で際立っていた」と主張。ハワードの存在が競争を促すだろうと予測した。
X上での議論では、スティーラーズによる3巡目でのドリュー・アラー指名に対し、様々な反応が示されている。ウィル・ハワードの映像を高く評価するベン・ロスリスバーガーからの懐疑的な意見や、精度に課題があるとして「順位に見合わない（リーチ）」と批判する声がある一方で、卓越した強肩と高い潜在能力を評価する前向きな意見も見られる。また、アーロン・ロジャースの去就が不透明な中で、アラーとハワードによるトレーニングキャンプでの競争を求める中立的な声も上がっている。

Here is the official Drew Allar low-lite compilation, can’t believe the Steelers really wasted a premium draft pick on such a sorry lousy college QB when they have other pressing needs, it’s always the what if, outside the lines things with Drew Allar, he proved nothing inside… pic.twitter.com/DwN2wK4rxE

Here are my thoughts on Drew Allar:

Elite 6’5” arm talent with one of the strongest, smoothest throwing arms in the class. Good processor in a pro-style system, low turnovers, solid athlete for his size.
However, he has exhibited inconsistent mechanics & footwork, streaky… pic.twitter.com/yPyXwYOveo
Independent of today’s news, my preference would be for the Steelers to just let Will Howard & Drew Allar battle it out in camp to see who starts. The odds are that both would eventually play anyways.

Pittsburgh’s got the necessary offensive eco-system in place to properly…
You can count Ben Roethlisberger on Team Howard, at least for now.
