Drew Allar, a die-hard Cleveland Browns fan, didn’t seem thrilled that he’d have to abandon his hometown team for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his draft reaction has since gone viral on social media.
After being selected by Pittsburgh, Allar appeared conflicted as he measured the Steelers' hat in his hands, leading many to believe he was disappointed about being drafted by the Browns' most bitter rival.

Allar, born in Brunswick, Ohio, grew up in the Cleveland fandom, with his family dog, Ozzie, even named after Browns Hall of Fame tight end Ozzie Newsome.
Some have already rallied behind Will Howard as the future successor to Aaron Rodgers, and if Allar doesn't prove to Steelers fans that his love of the Browns is in the past, the noise could grow deafening.
