Steelers draft Drew Allar

The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Penn State quarterback Drew Allar in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The move provides the team with a potential long-term successor to Aaron Rodgers, whose future with the franchise remains uncertain following the pick.

Allar's selection was accompanied by significant media attention as his girlfriend, Emma Bush, also trended during the draft night in Detroit.

While the Steelers insist the pick is not directly connected to Rodgers' status, it signals a clear shift toward youth in the quarterback room.

Allar is expected to begin the season as a backup while he adjusts to the professional level.
