This is the one thing I am concerned about with this kid.  Is he fast enough or is he another AJ Dillon.  

Allen did not run the 40 so I believe this is an unknown.

I think the preseason games should tell us a lot about this kid.

When you are that big, you will be able to truck a few defenders.image.thumb.png.88d670a57587d9de833dbb9713676755.png

The new Jets-flavored version of Christian Okoye?

Okoye was 6'1", 253 lbs.

Allen is 6'1", 235 lbs.

Only a little lighter.

Maybe he's the new Mike Allstott.

Alstott was 6'1", 248 lbs.

Does Allen need to gain 15 pounds and be ever more massive?

His true value to the Jets may be that he is good enough to take at least some carries from Breece and as a result the payday owed to Breece in a year or so might not be so large that we all spend months questioning the value of a franchise running back in the modern NFL (a la Saquon and the Giants)

IF he actually is as good as he is being hyped, he might be a replacement for Hall so we don't have to tie up $15 million for a RB very soon, since we have to pay Gardner and Wilson.  

That's gonna be the challenge for Douglas. Find a way to re-up Sauce Gardner (he will become the highest paid DB), Garrett Wilson (top 3 highest paid WR), Breece Hall (top 5 highest paid RB), AVT (highest paid Guard), keep paying Quinnen, find and pay for a new QB. Oh ya, find a way to pay Reddick $25m per. And Jermain Johnson will be on the list in a year or two at the most!

This is our 'window' folks!

Welcome to the new NFL, where everyone makes over $20 million a season, but you need to pay 53 people.

It's only 1 video but he didn't look all that fast to me.  Though it did say "fast for such a big man", which is fair.

If he was fast he would have been a first round pick.  Hes not fast.  Theres a reason he didnt not run the 40.

It'll be interesting to see how the niners handle Purdy coming due.

Breece: "A year from now, I'm gonna be the highest paid RB in the NFL!!!" 😎

<Jets Draft Braelon Allen>

Breece: "F*CK" 😡

A year from now the highest paid RB in the NFL may be making about the same as a 3rd string QB

The refs would find a way to make that into a penalty.

It’s called spearing, and the result today would be a 15-yard penalty against the offense. Which is good, because that’s a good way to break your own neck or remove the heart from your opponent’s chest.
