One-gap 4-3 penetrating front with a strong emphasis on upfront disruption and explosive interior pass rush techniques.
Jonathan Allen's ideal role is as a Day 1 starting 3-technique defensive tackle, where he can immediately be a disruptive interior pass rusher and stout run defender, with the ceiling to be a Pro Bowl caliber anchor of a defensive line.
A two-gapping 3-4 defense where his primary responsibility would be to occupy blockers rather than penetrate, diminishing his explosiveness and natural pass-rush abilities.
His combination of size, power, and quickness makes him a versatile fit for schemes prioritizing aggressive defensive line play and quarterback pressure.
Selected #17 overall in Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Washington Redskins out of Alabama.
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.
