Tends to struggle in man coverage where he has to turn and run
Not a violent threat in deep half/over middle
Doesn’t have superstar potential
Summary: Nate Allen has been a favorite of mine all year. Some guys just find ways to make plays despite average measureables. I expect Allen to win a starting job quickly in his career. He’s a prototypical free safety who is clean off the field and has a reportedly great work ethic. I expect Allen to come off the board between picks 35 and 70.
Player Comparison: Tanard Jackson. Jackson didn’t have great measurables coming out of Syracuse, but he’s a very good technician and a great playmaker for Tampa Bay.
