My Take
Coming out of the University of Alabama as a defensive lineman is a serious credential, and Jonathan Allen earned every bit of it. A national title in 2015 and a haul of defensive player of the year honors in 2016 mark him as one of the best collegiate interior rushers of his era. The work he does, collapsing the pocket from the middle, is some of the most physically punishing in the sport and the least glamorous. Born in Anniston, Alabama, he carries that hard-nosed Southern football pedigree. I appreciate that he keeps an official site too, a small sign of a player who takes his own story seriously.
