Drew Allar shows exactly why Steelers drafted him in preseason debut
Drew Allar trotted out, high-fiving guard Ryan McCollum and then covered the ear holes of his helmet to take the play call. The Acrisure Stadium crowd’s cheers might not have been as loud as they were for fellow Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Will Howard earlier in the night, but they were there.
Drew Allar's preseason debut showcased precisely why the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him. As he took the field, Allar engaged in friendly interactions with guard Ryan McCollum before donning his helmet. Despite the crowd's affections for fellow quarterback Will Howard, who had earlier orchestrated a promising two-minute drill, Allar's performance did not go unnoticed.
He entered the game late in the third quarter, backed up by Max Hurleman, Jakobie Keeney-James, Levi Wentz, and Kaden Wetjen. The enthusiastic support from the Acrisure Stadium crowd, though not as loud as Howard's, was evident in the cheers directed towards the rookie.
