Drew Allar shines in Steelers preseason debut against Packers

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Drew Allar delivered a strong performance in his preseason debut during a 28-9 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Allar accounted for three touchdowns, completing 10 of 13 passes for 153 yards and one rushing touchdown.

Observers noted Allar’s ability to make quick decisions and execute staple concepts, such as the read-option. While the performance was productive, Allar expressed awareness that his fundamentals, specifically his footwork, would likely face scrutiny from coaching staff. The rookie also noted that the game provided his first significant physical contact since an ankle injury ended his collegiate season at Penn State.

Other players, including Will Howard, also saw action as the team continues to evaluate its quarterback depth.
