Josh Allen OLB/ILB/DE Kentucky | Page 265

Josh Allen, ILB/OLB, Kentucky Height: 6-5. Weight: 230. Projected 40 Time: 4.70. Projected Round (2018): 1-2. 10/21/17: Allen has been one of the leading defenders in sacks in the early going of the 2017 season. The junior is one of the nation's leaders with 6.5 sacks. He also has 35 tackles with 7.5 tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles and a pass batted. Allen produced well as a sophomore in 2016 with 62 tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, seven sacks and four forced fumbles. One national scout compared Allen to Leonard Floyd coming out of Georgia with Allen's ability to rush off the edge. That scout said Allen isn't as freaky of an athlete as Floyd was, and Allen is not a top-10 pick, but he did grade Allen as a first-rounder. Another director of college scouting said he gave Allen a high second-round grade, but thought Allen could definitely end up going in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. That director said Allen was an interesting player because he also can play inside linebacker, whereas Floyd was just an outside edge defender. That college director said as an inside linebacker, Allen has similarities to current Texans linebacker Zach Cunningham in terms of his height, speed, length, and athleticism in the middle. Nice looking prospect, definitely needs to bulk up more but seems to fly to the ball, nice rushing ability from the edge also..

He can sack the QB, cover a tight end AND be our big-body redzone threat.

Josh Allen says that if he stuck with playing receiver, he'd be like Calvin Johnson 😳

I think we would be foolish to take Allen over Bosa or QW. Those guys are in a tier above him IMO.

Lmao - Josh Allen doesn't realize he runs a 4.6 40 and has little baby hands.

Isn't one hand actually smaller than the other?

That is the wth thought I had when I first saw it. Don't criticize his speed! The GOAT wasn't all that fast either, but he did have strong hands though.

Holy s**t the draft needs to get here. At this rate, by Monday Rashan Gary will be claiming that he can throw it better than Mahomes but couldn't show it because the Michigan coaches held him back.

A little stiff too. More like a bursty JJ Stokes catching balls with closed fists.

Allen doesn't turn into Calvin Johnson if he loses 25 pounds. He's a pretty good athlete for an NFL edge rusher. Calvin Johnson was the most physically gifted WR of all time arguably.

He was basically playing at Johnson's weight in 2017 and wasn't half the athlete Megatron was.

And Johnson isn't running a 4.3 40 at 260lbs.

What a ridiculous topic to argue. Good grief, can the draft get here already?
