In Pro Football Focus’ early 2026 NFL mock draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers take Penn State quarterback Drew Allar. The Steelers end up with the 14th pick, which is low enough to have a quarterback fall right into their laps. Allar is the one they would take.

Howard will have a chance to be a quality addition for Pittsburgh. However, there are questions about just how much he can develop and how good he can become. Following the draft, the Steelers have received some major questions about their strategy.

A quarterback was among the picks the Steelers made during the final day of the NFL draft on Saturday. The team selected Ohio State quarterback Will Howard in the sixth round, who won the College Football Playoff National Championship in January.
