The Pittsburgh Steelers selected quarterback Drew Allar in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, prompting varied responses from former players and analysts. Ben Roethlisberger voiced reservations about the pick while favoring sixth-rounder Will Howard. Opinions range from skepticism to optimism about Allar's potential amid uncertainty over Aaron Rodgers' future.

Ben Roethlisberger, appearing on his Footbahlin podcast after the draft, expressed uncertainty about the Steelers' choice of Penn State quarterback Drew Allar. 'This is one that I’m not sure yet if I love it or hate it,' Roethlisberger said. 'When I did watch, he never jumped off the page to me.' He contrasted Allar with Will Howard, whom he hosted on his podcast nearly a year ago and believes 'jumped off the tape' more impressively, predicting the competition will push Howard.
