May 07, 2026

Pittsburgh Steelers third-round pick Drew Allar will begin his professional career at the team's rookie minicamp on Friday. The Penn State quarterback has expressed enthusiasm about working with head coach Mike McCarthy. The minicamp comes as the Steelers weigh options at quarterback for the 2026 season.

Allar was selected with the 76th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Steelers reporter Missi Matthews said the quarterback understands the situation he enters and is eager to learn from McCarthy, whom he described as a big deal during pre-draft meetings. Allar will join other draft picks and college free agents for the three-day session in pads.
