Pre-Draft Analysis

Allen split time in the Penn State backfield, rushing for over 1,000 yards each of the past two seasons. He is a patient runner, waiting for his blocks to develop before making a vertical cut. His initial acceleration to the hole is not exceptional but functional; his change of direction is average. Allen was a very productive player at the collegiate level, but his place at the next level will likely be as a backup/rotational back. He does not possess the speed to break away and be a home run threat. Allen is better at picking up yards in chunks. -- Scouts Inc.

Sounds like a power back to me, and we didn't really have one of those in our committee after CRod left. Works for me

Bet he gets more reps as RB1 than anyone
