Theismann: Steelers drafted Allar to hedge for 2027 QB class with Rodgers as mentor
NFL analyst Joe Theismann says the Steelers drafted Drew Allar in the third round to position themselves for a strong 2027 QB class, not just an immediate need. He suggests Allar could sit behind Aaron Rodgers (if he returns) and learn from a veteran, making Rodgers a mentor to both. While next year’s QB class appears deep, outcomes remain uncertain, and Pittsburgh’s move signals a long-term development plan with Allar’s franchise QB potential hinging on growth and opportunity.
