Allen is a linebacker heading into the season with clear momentum and a strong opportunity to make a noticeable jump in his overall impact. He plays with a confident, aggressive style that shows up when he’s attacking downhill against the run, stepping into gaps with purpose and looking to meet ball carriers early. Allen brings a physical presence to the middle of the defense, and his willingness to engage contact allows him to set a tone for his unit when he’s on the field.

What stands out about Allen is his competitive mindset and the way he continues to play through the whistle. He shows solid instincts when reading developing plays, allowing him to react quickly and get himself around the football. As he continues to develop his consistency and sharpen his understanding of coverage responsibilities, his role can expand into more three down opportunities.
