"Allen, 21, did not participate in athletic testing at the Combine or Georgia's pro day. But this week, he worked out for scouts and ranked a 4.46-second 40-yard dash, despite being just months removed from knee surgery."
"The Bills need to find a long-term replacement for veteran inside linebacker, who hit free agency this offseason after nine seasons in Buffalo. Allen would be a long-term running mate for Bernard."
"The Buccaneers are in a very similar situation. They saw sign with a new team this offseason after 14 years in Tampa Bay. Allen would come in and push Anzalone or Dennis for playing time."
"The one significant drawback of selecting Allen in the first round is the loss of value on his fifth-year option, as inside linebackers are grouped with outside linebackers for NFL contract designations."
Georgia linebacker has gained attention as a potential first-round pick for the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite not participating in the Combine or pro day, he recorded a 4.46-second 40-yard dash, showcasing his recovery from knee surgery. He is currently ranked as the third-best linebacker. Teams like the Bills, Buccaneers, and Cowboys are considering him as a long-term solution for their linebacker positions. However, selecting him in the first round may impact the value of his fifth-year option due to NFL contract designations.
