02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Colts' scheme was a multiple-formation WCO variant that frequently used 12 and 13 personnel with a run-first approach out of shotgun, emphasizing gap scheme and zone runs.

Best role

Dwayne Allen projects as an instant contributor at Y-tight end given his blocking prowess, with a ceiling as a reliable chain-moving pass catcher.

Wrong fit

Allen would be a poor fit for a pass-heavy Air Raid offense that de-emphasizes tight end blocking responsibilities.

Allen's well-rounded game as a blocker and receiver made him a valuable asset for the Colts' offense.

04The evaluation

Selected #64 overall in Round 3 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Indianapolis Colts out of Clemson.
