Penn State QB Drew Allar 2026 NFL Draft

Transcript

00:00Quick rant about Drew Allard. Quick rant, Joe. And I've said this before to you. I don't know

00:05if I've said this on a podcast, but I have talked to you about this. I am so tired of the wide

00:10receiver excuse. I'm so tired of it. It is exhausting. He had a top 15 pick at tight end.

00:19He has had two good offensive lines back-to-back years, including a kid that is starting at left

00:24tackle in the NFL, another center that got drafted two years ago, and he's got a left tackle that'll

00:28probably go top 50 if not first round this year. There's no excuse here, not to mention the dynamic

00:34backfield he has. He has two running backs that are going to get drafted in the NFL. And by the way,

00:38did you notice on some of the spring grades that Trey Wallace, who's now down at Ole Miss,

00:42who was his leading wide receiver last year, has draftable grades along the NFL as well?

00:48Maybe, guys, Drew Allard just isn't very good. It might just quite simply be that simple of an

00:57explanation. Big arm, big frame. He's going to get drafted higher than he probably should.

01:02I like the pace he puts on the football. I like moments, but Drew Allard right now is not a very

01:07good quarterback. You are betting purely on traits, and I'm starting to get worried, Joe,

01:11betting on pure traits when I'm talking about a kid that has already started two years.

01:16Like, there's a couple kids on this list I'm like, I can bet. Like Sam Levitt, for instance,

01:19right? Sam Levitt. I will bet on those tools all day. You know why? Because he's a one-year starter

01:24that has legitimate runway, a track of development. Drew Allard's already started two years, man.

01:30He's already started two years, and it hasn't been very good yet. Stop the excuses.

01:35Let's see it tangibly turn into production in 2025.
