Rookie quarterbacks are all the rage in the preseason, even if they’re not likely to get many snaps when the regular season begins.
Last week, the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers each saw their respective rookie quarterbacks shine in brief outings. Jets fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik completed five of his seven pass attempts for 56 yards, showing off a quick release, an understanding of pressure and an ability to throw on the move. Steelers third-rounder Drew Allar was Pittsburgh‘s leading passer against the Packers, going 10-for-13 with 153 yards and two touchdowns and added a third on the ground.

This week, the two rookies will have a chance to face off in the Aug. 21 clash between the Jets and Steelers. Perhaps at least one of the rostered veteran quarterbacks could also make an appearance.
Pittsburgh head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Aug. 3 that Aaron Rodgers said he’d like to play in the preseason. Rodgers didn’t play against one of his former teams – Green Bay – on Aug. 13, but perhaps he’ll take some snaps against his other former team at home.
