In a weak and thin quarterback draft class, the NFL Combine could be a life-changing event for a quarterback like Drew Allar.

While throwing at the combine, Allar looked good, with his deep ball being one of the best elements of his game. But have we seen this film before?
Crazy seeing all these tweets about Drew Allar now being QB3 in the NFL Draft because of 1 good workout in shorts & no defense.
Did we learn nothing from Zach Wilson??? pic.twitter.com/IUNextSANm

While Allar was firing crisp passes at the combine, social media was just as quick to call out his flaws: shaky footwork, questionable football IQ, and an inability to be a big moment quarterback.
Get ready for people to overrate Drew Allar because he looked good throwing vs no defense. pic.twitter.com/sNbmRyCMiA

Anyone who has followed Drew Allar should not be surprised by Combine buzz.
His best trait has always been making it seem like he should be a very good QB.

While Allar is not an NFL-ready quarterback, his raw talent could be a long-term project for a team with an already established QB1.
Drew Allar killed it at the combine today
Worth taking a chance on in round 3 or 4 imo pic.twitter.com/eYNu6IVGUX

I thought Drew Allar looked great yesterday. Size, arm strength, character is there. Just needs to put it together. That staff at Penn State did him no favors. Intriguing potential.

It’ll be interesting to see whether Drew Allar can put it all together to compete at the next level.
