Quote:Why do we think he isn't going to have good athleticism? I think he looks like he's going to have good athleticism for his density. Especially 3 cone, he has some clips where he shows really nice bend and burst for his weight.


Wouldn't surprise me too much if he beats Fowler's 3 cone at ~290 lbs.

im sure he will have decent athleticism but we are talking about picking 4th overall. I don't think he's going to do anything elite in any drill to be honest. He looks good,solid, but not great or elite. He never has been an elite prospect - otherwise he would've came out last year after his junior year. He helped himself out by coming back and playing well, kind of like how Damarcus Walker will get drafted much higher now than he would have in 2016.


Hes no warren sapp or Aaron Donald from the inside.


It's another case of an Alabama player getting overrated IMO. I'm being completely honest - but how much better will he be than our own Tyson Alualu? Alualu in college to me looked more sudden and quite similar. When you look at Allen, the vast majority of his big plays are with the pocket completely messed up because of the fact that Alabama got pressure from both sides and inside. Allen also was very underwhelming against Clemson. I'm open to be proven otherwise, but I honestly don't see it with Allen.
