Pittsburgh Steelers spotlight quarterback rotation in training camp
Coach Mike McCarthy opened the Steelers' first training‑camp practice at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe with a focus on two‑minute drills and the emerging quarterback rotation. Rookie third‑round pick Drew Allar capped the session with a 14‑yard touchdown pass to tight end Robert Tonyan, his first scoring play of camp. McCarthy said veteran Aaron Rodgers is expected to handle 40‑50% of snaps, while Mason Rudolph will start the second‑team reps and Will Howard and Allar will split third‑team duties, with the depth chart remaining fluid. Allar, a former Penn State quarterback, described learning daily from Rodgers and the coaching staff, including offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth. The camp also featured veteran defensive tackle Cam Heyward commenting on adapting to new coaching dynamics and the team’s evaluation of free‑agent safety Jordan Whitehead.
