CJ Allen's Player Profile

Mel Kiper - ESPN - January 21st: "Allen is a three-down linebacker at the next level because his read-and-react skills are excellent and he can make plays in all three aspects of the defense. He has the physicality to take on blocks in the run game and the speed to chase down ball carriers once he disengages."

Walt - Walter Football- January 20th: "C.J. Allen is a smart, tough, and instinctive linebacker."

NFL Draft Buzz- January: "Allen has legitimate three-down potential at the next level with the athletic profile and instincts to make an immediate impact against the run. His sideline-to-sideline range jumps off the screen, particularly when tracking down perimeter runs or blitzing from unexpected angles. However, his coverage responsibilities will need continued refinement, as his reactions in zone coverage occasionally come a beat slow and his man technique remains inconsistent against savvy route runners."
