Drew Allar gives brutally honest assessment of his performance vs. Jets

Drew Allar delivered a disappointing performance during the Pittsburgh Steelers' preseason game against the New York Jets. The rookie third-round quarterback finished the game going 11-for-23 for 110 yards. After the match, Allar admitted that he made early errors, specifically failing to take advantage of opportunities in driving plays.

Seven of his 12 incompletions were due to drops by his receivers, who accounted for six drops on Allar's passes, resulting in a lost 70 yards. Despite this, Allar expressed confidence in his development, acknowledging there is still room for improvement as he continues to serve as the Steelers' developmental quarterback.
