I haven't gotten too deep into my "scouting" process but this kid has really looked the part from a high level. Curious to hear the BBI take on this kid. Some clips on Youtube to check out if you want. At 6-7 245lbs, and a natural ability to run, tackles below the belt are obviously a big injury concern. The same concerns were expressed for Cam Newton during that draft class, but Cam is noticeably stronger and carries more muscle all around. Will be fun watching this guys stock rise especially during/after the combine process, if he elects to declare.
Quick highlights from last season - (
New Window )
He probably needs to stay at Buffalo another year. Allen was a senior and wisely stayed an extra year. But he might start getting hype.

Raw as it gets. Sure, the talent is there. He's 6'7, mobile, has a rocket for an arm, but he needs a TON of development.
He sounds like Jay Buhner!
Fantastic -- got a genuine laugh from me
