Former Penn State quarterback Drew Allar is visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers today, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The visit marks the final day of pre-draft visits for the organization as they finalize their evaluations of the rookie class.
The Steelers have been thorough in their search for a future signal-caller, hosting a majority of the draft’s top quarterback prospects over the last several weeks. Allar is among the final group of players to meet with team officials in Pittsburgh before the draft cycle concludes. The Penn State product is viewed as one of the significant prospects at the position in this year's pool.
This visit comes at a critical time for the franchise. Pittsburgh is currently awaiting a decision from veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose future remains uncertain. By meeting with Allar and other top prospects, the Steelers front office is maintaining a dual-track strategy to address the quarterback position regardless of how the veteran market shakes out.
With pre-draft visits concluding today, the Steelers will now shift their focus to the draft board. The presence of Allar at the facility today signals that the team is keeping all options on the table for their first-round selection.
