Yeah, Allen is one of those guys who isn’t necessarily great at any particular measurable, but will seldom be out worked by his teammates. While he isn’t the most skilled at his position, he brings solid character and rarely makes mental mistakes, relatively speaking. He injured his groin and was cut publicly on Hard Knocks his rookie year. He worked hard on the Falcon’s practice squad and earned a starting role the following year. He was a team captain a handful of those years during his tenure there, and is apparently respected by his coaches and teammates for his work ethic and leadership. I know one of those years, he was their nominee for the WP Man Of The Year award fwiw. He probably won’t make any Pro Bowls, but seems to fit the mold of what the current staff has gravitated towards on and off the field (sure tackler , character, strong work ethic , team captain).
