Allen is an American football quarterback. He played college football at the University of Wyoming.
Allen made it clear he wants to be the No. 1 overall draft choice.
“Yeah, it would mean that I’m going to Cleveland,” Allen said Tuesday. “My biggest interest of being the No. 1 pick, obviously the pressure that comes along with that, I would love to have that pressure on my shoulders because I’ve always thrived in those situations, and I feel like Cleveland would be a great spot to be. But if I’m not, I’m not, and I’m going to do whatever I can to the team that actually picks me and actually wants me so we’ll go from there.”
The Washington Post offered up arguments for and against the selection of Allen.
Allen is one of the most polarizing quarterback prospects in this draft class. On one hand, he’s an athletic, big-framed quarterback with an elite arm. On the other, he regressed significantly his senior season, completing less than 57 percent of his passes and throwing for less than 2000 yards.
If selected first, Allen would likely end up going to the Browns.
Sam Darnold is the odds-on favorite to be selected first overall.
He would pay out $350 if selected first among quarterbacks.
