- Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger sounds the alarm on rookie Drew Allar
Ben Roethlisberger has already made it clear he isn't sold on the Pittsburgh Steelers ' third-round Drew Allar pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and now he's revealed what truly concerns him most.
On a new episode of Big Ben's Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger podcast, the Steelers legend explained that early footage of Allar going through basic drills makes him — well — nervous.

"When I'm watching him do three-step drops, that makes me incredibly nervous," Roethlisberger said. "You might say, 'Why? You're refining things.' There's a difference in refining things and teaching. When we did football camps, the first thing you're teaching the youngest kids is how to do a three-step drop. …
"Maybe they're working on the three-step drop to be more efficient. But it looked to me like it was baby steps, teaching. … I could be completely wrong. All I'm saying is that it makes me a little nervous to watch it and be like, 'They're working on a three-step drop?'"
With 18 seasons of quarterback experience, Roethlisberger knows exactly what to look for in a young quarterback prospect, which is why his comments — coupled with Allar's early struggles — are so alarming.
