The Pittsburgh Steelers are rebuilding the passing mechanics of third-round rookie Drew Allar during offseason work. First-year head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth focused on footwork and stance at last weekend's rookie minicamp. The changes aim to prepare Allar for NFL demands after his Penn State career.
Allar worked at half speed on drills that widen his base and keep him off his toes in the pocket. The staff also introduced drops from under center, a shift from his college shotgun-heavy background. ESPN's Brooke Pryor reported that coaches are uninstalling prior habits and installing new fundamentals with the 6-foot-5 quarterback.
