Allar Shines in Steelers’ Preseason Debut with Multi-TD Night

Drew Allar made a splash in his NFL preseason debut for the Steelers, going 10-for-13 for 153 yards with two passing touchdowns and a rushing score after entering in the third quarter. His 75-yard first pass set the tone, and he connected with Kaden Wetjen and Riley Nowakowski on TD passes as Pittsburgh topped Green Bay 28-9. After not playing since last October’s ankle injury, Allar's impressive showing could fuel a future path to Pittsburgh’s starting role in next year’s QB competition.

Mendoza isn’t guaranteed to start immediately, but his strong start could force early consideration if Kirk Cousins struggles, echoing the Raiders’ history with No. 1 picks like JaMarcus Russell.

Mendoza’s First Raiders Start Likely Delayed to Week 12

Las Vegas’ Klint Kubiak would rather not start rookie Fernando Mendoza Day 1, and the Raiders signed veteran Kirk Cousins before drafting him No. 1 overall. If Mendoza starts this season, Week 12 against the Browns (following a bye) is a plausible debut date, with openers against the Dolphins and others and no primetime showcase for the team this year.

Draft Debut Delay: Most 2026 QB rookies won’t start Week 1

NFL Network notes that after the 2026 draft, few rookie QBs are projected to start Week 1; historically, top picks almost always take the field early, but this class may buck expectations. Mendoza (Raiders) is Week 5 at best; Simpson (Rams) likely backs up with a late-season start possible; Beck (Cardinals) could reach Week 13; Allar (Steelers) is more of a long-term project with 2027 upside; Klubnik (Jets) and most late-round QBs are unlikely to start in 2026; overall Week 1 should feature veterans rather than rookies.
