summary
summary
Drew Allar is a prototypical NFL pocket quarterback with elite size, arm talent, and high-end developmental upside. At 6'5", 240 lbs, Allar possesses the frame, arm elasticity, and throwing power teams covet in franchise passers.
After taking over as Penn State’s starter, Allar showcased command of a pro-style passing structure, operating full-field reads, layered throws, and vertical concepts. His arm strength allows him to attack tight windows and drive the football outside the numbers with ease.
While still refining anticipation timing and pressure response, Allar’s physical tools, poise, and processing trajectory project him as a mid round pick at best in this draft.
