Jonathan Allen is an elite tier prospect, and his 2016-2017 season showed it. Allen wasn’t afraid to take on blockers and dominate both the pass and the run. Allen has a unique mix of size and athleticism that is rarely seen in most players. One area that Allen really seems to stand out is his agility. This agility, mixed with his high level of awareness really allows for Jonathan Allen to shine. Allen is constantly paying attention to how the play is developing. And he has good instincts and discipline to make sure that he makes the right decisions.

Jonathan Allen comes from an Alabama defense that is stacked with talent. This leads to some questions about whether Allen is benefiting from defenses not being able to key on him. However, if you watch the games, you can see Allen is the player that is shining and standing out above the rest. Allen looks like one of the most NFL ready players to come around in a long time. Allen has the cliché “nonstop motor” that evaluators tend to drool over. You can see Allen running down players and getting assists on tackles that most linemen would never even get to. If Allen continues to keep this level of discipline and effort, I have no doubt he will contribute early and go on to be a perennial Pro Bowler.
