Overview
- Allar rebounded from early-camp inconsistency by showing improved deep-ball mechanics during the Steelers’ night practice in Latrobe on Saturday night.
- The rookie said he has been picking Aaron Rodgers’ brain about throw trajectory for about a week and used that guidance in live 7-on-7 work.
- Allar completed multiple long passes to DK Metcalf, Brandon Smith and Robert Tonyan in the session, with local reporters calling it his best practice of camp.
- Head coach Mike McCarthy and offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio praised his poise and his ability to absorb and apply coaching corrections immediately.
- While the showing boosts Allar’s claim for a backup or QB3 role, evaluators say consistency over more practices and preseason game action, including the coming Packers matchup, will decide roster spots and playing opportunities.
