In a draft class full of potential, one NFL legend believes the Pittsburgh Steelers may have uncovered a hidden gem. Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner recently shared his excitement about the team's third-round pick, Drew Allar, suggesting he could be "the steal of the draft."

Speaking on an episode of Kurt's QB Insider, Warner couldn't hide his admiration for the rookie signal-caller's raw talent. "The talent jumps off the screen when you watch this guy throw," Warner said. "It is effortless for him to push the ball down the field." He acknowledged the key question for any big-armed quarterback: can they harness that power and deliver consistent accuracy? "If so," Warner continued, "this guy could be the steal of the draft and could become the best quarterback in this class. But that is a big if, and I can't wait to see how it plays out in April."

Selected 76th overall, Allar brings elite intangibles and sky-high upside to the Steelers' quarterback room. His physical traits alone make him one of the most intriguing prospects in the 2026 class. Adding to the intrigue is the man now tasked with developing him: new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy. Known as one of the NFL's top quarterback developers, McCarthy could be the perfect mentor to unlock Allar's full potential and turn Warner's bold prediction into reality.

For Steelers fans, the combination of Allar's raw ability and McCarthy's coaching pedigree creates a storyline worth watching closely this offseason. If Warner's instincts are right, Pittsburgh may have just landed a franchise cornerstone in the third round.
