Scouting Report: Strengths
- His passing game skills are strong. He’s a natural hands catcher who turns upfield quickly in the screen game, and Allen shows a great feel for setting up wheel routes.
- Allen is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.
- Made Bruce Feldman's 2023 Freak's List - ranked #34. He wrote "Last year he made it on the strength of his power-cleaning 406 pounds and clocking a 1.49 in his 10-yard split. He benched 365. Allen has bulked up 10 more pounds to 245 now. “I’m bigger, but I am leaner now,” Allen says. “I went from 11 percent body fat to 8 percent this offseason. I’m definitely faster now.”"
- He runs with violence; he’s capable of thrashing through tacklers, and he has the natural balance to withstand contact.
- He shows good initial burst and runs with violence through traffic. He typically finishes runs well, especially in short-yardage situations.
- Fights for extra yardage and is reliable in short-yardage situations.
- Allen aggressively finishes runs and consistently falls forward in a crowd. His low pad level and a bit of wiggle keep him from absorbing big hits.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s good on screen and swing passes, but Allen doesn’t have the route-running feel to be the kind of back you flex out.
- Allen could stand to get smaller when squeezing through traffic.
- Allen has soft hands, but he can be slow to gather and head upfield after the catch.
