Ricardo Allen projects best to a Cover 3 or Cover 4 predominant defensive scheme that values a free safety to play as a single-high safety capable of rotating down into the box.
Year 1 rotational single-high safety in sub packages with ceiling to be a career starter.
Man-heavy schemes which would ask him to consistently cover slot receivers or tight ends.
A undersized but assignment-sound and instinctive safety, Allen lacks ideal top-end speed but makes up for it with good diagnostic skills and leadership qualities.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
