Even if it isnt game one, I think a quarter of the season in he will be to good to not be getting starter minutes

No I don't think he's going to have close the amount of snaps as guys like Bosa, Quinnen , Oliver etc etc so they'll have a much bigger chance of being defensive rookie of the year

I agree they will get more minutes probably day 1.  But Allen will work his way up to probably to being on the field 75 or 80% of the defensive plays.  You dont think that will somewhat help him though because he will be fresh and we wont have to wear him down like Williams and Oliver probably will.  I feel with Campbell Bryan and Yannick Allen will have more splash plays then the other 2.  Allen's experience being a 4 year senior will make a difference as well.  I might be wrong but if Allen is good enough which I think he will be, he will get his minutes, even if some of them come at LB

The only thing that will stop him from getting it is market size.

He has the innate ability to succeed.  He has the surrounding help to succeed.

I know TC was very slow to make Brackens a full time starter.  I don't see that as an issue here.

Being he was a 4 year senior and he is not a project like most of our 1st round picks and a lot of 1st round picks period now days will show on the field and make a difference
