Because he had surgery on his shoulders due to labral tears and that had to be medically checked, and during that medical exam, it was discovered Allen also had mild arthritis. But just because it was flagged doesn't mean it would be guaranteed to affect the individual early on.

Alabama team doctor Lyle Cain Wrote:"But he's played without any problems," Cain explained. "This is something that a lot of offensive linemen and defensive linemen have, things guys play with their whole careers. It's just a little earlier for him because he got hurt in college."

If a team is very wary of the medicals, it makes sense to skip on Allen. But if what Allen's doctors say is true, there should be little to no worry and the team that takes him could get a steal.
