Overview
Allen was a two year starter at tight end for Clemson where he won the Mackey award as the nations top TE before declaring early for the draft. He was a first-team All-ACC selection and has great size for the position and even better speed. He is a polished and accomplished route runner who understands how to play the position and will be an immediate threat at the next level. He is a more classic, line-attached tight end who can work upfield out of a three point stance without having to rely on aligning in the slot. He has a rare combination of size, speed, athleticism, and overall understanding of the intricacies of the position.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Allen labors at times off the ball when blocking in the run game and has a bit of an unorthodox stance when trying to block. He is simply not the caliber of blocker that he is receiver, but he is above average there. It's difficult to find many weaknesses in Allen's game based off the junior year he put together.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
