Dakota Allen is a good fit for a 4-3 Cover 3 defense where his average athleticism can be masked by strong pass rushers and his run-stopping ability is highlighted.
Year 1 special teams contributor with the ceiling of a two-down run-stuffing linebacker.
Any scheme that asks him to regularly cover backs out of the backfield or play in space.
Allen projects best as a run-stopping force who can occasionally contribute in coverage, but truly shines on special teams.
