Mark Madden, a prominent media figure, has called for the Pittsburgh Steelers to part ways with quarterback Will Howard, suggesting they draft Penn State's Drew Allar in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Madden argues that Howard's potential is limited to being an NFL backup, while Allar, described as being 'assembled in a quarterback factory' by NFL.com, has the potential to become a starting quarterback in the league. Despite Madden's stance, there remains support for Howard within the Steelers organization, especially given the team's current uncertainty at the quarterback position. The Steelers have three third-round picks in the upcoming draft, which Madden believes should be utilized to secure Allar's talents.
