Drew Allar Talks Ankle Injury Rehab, NFL Draft Process After Throwing at Penn State Pro Day

Drew Allar told reporters on Wednesday that he's been training with "no limitations" since the beginning of February and believes he "could have played a game two weeks ago" after a fractured ankle cut his 2025 season short.

"Just taking it week by week with these visits and interviews and then the chips can fall where they may," he said from Penn State's pro day. "I don't know what round or what pick or what team I'm going to. I just hope for the opportunity to go into a good situation and just compete, work to make myself better and hopefully contribute to winning."

Allar, 22, came into the 2025 season as one of the top quarterback prospects in the country but only appeared in six games before fracturing his ankle. He didn't have his best campaign when healthy, throwing for 1,100 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions while completing 64.8 percent of his passes.

He was just 3-3 as the starter as Penn State went from being ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation to suffering a six-game losing streak that led to James Franklin's firing and a disappointing 7-6 campaign.

Since a game-sealing interception in the 2024 season's College Football Playoff semifinals, Allar's draft stock has taken a tumble. But he's hoping to rectify that during the pre-draft process and already had a solid showing at the NFL Scouting Combine.

"I'm a competitor," he told reporters Wednesday. "Whenever there's a chance to throw, I'm gonna throw. I'd do it seven days a week, and I've always been wired like that. Just trying to show off my work ethic through this whole rehab process. Obviously, there's nothing ideal about what happened last year, but I took it as an opportunity to grow and make myself a better player both athletically and mechanically."
