Absolute tank of a RB that moves like a smaller one. Terrifying in the open field once he gets a full head of steam and would-be tacklers just start to bounce off of him. His pass blocking is a work in progress, no lack of effort at all, just weak technique that could be coached up. One of my favorite players to watch from this year's draft, just a pure power masher that can be a nice change of pace back, especially to wear down defenses late in games.

Wisconsin RB Braelon Allen has declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.

✅ 6'2 + 245 LBS + 19 Years Old

The dude is a BEAST.

How many current NFL RB's could do this? pic.twitter.com/ziaqzBbcdk

Braelon Allen is not a creative ankle breaking runner. He has excellent vision and runs over/through defenders as evidenced here on this tough run where he leaves two bodies behind. pic.twitter.com/TNmitLLFuW

I've seen as high as early 2nd. Some places have him as the top back in the draft.

Its all over the place. I've seen him go late 1st to late 3rd round. I would argue that late 2nd is reasonable. I think he can be a primary back for a team but really would be best suited to work in a tandem ala Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw with the Giants.

Would love to have him, but that early draft capital....need OL and CB. He seems like a bigger Mason. Trent cannot play forever, and imagine having a mauler inside like Beebe or one of the top centers.
