"He has played at an extremely high level." Drew Allar's preseason debut impressed the NFL Live panel 👏 https://t.co/Z4 Via @ESPNNFL on X

What happened: Drew Allar produced two passing scores and one rushing touchdown across three drives. His first possession ended with a touchdown.

Why it matters: The performance gives Allar an early case for more preseason snaps and a closer look in the 2026 quarterback rotation. Exhibition results remain a limited gauge of regular-season readiness.

By the numbers: Allar completed 76.9% of his attempts and averaged 11.8 yards per pass. Each of his three drives produced a touchdown.

What to watch: His workload in the next preseason game will indicate whether the debut leads to an expanded role.
