Josh Allen's skill set as an explosive edge rusher and versatile defender is best maximized in a multiple front defense that prioritizes attacking the quarterback.
Year one, Allen projects as a sub-package pass rusher with rotational snaps as a strong-side linebacker, with a ceiling to develop into a Pro Bowl caliber edge defender.
A traditional two-gap 3-4 defensive end role, which would mitigate his pass-rushing upside and quick-twitch athleticism.
Allen's athletic profile and proven ability to affect the quarterback make him a valuable asset in schemes focused on creating pressure from the edge.
Selected #7 overall in Round 1 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Jacksonville Jaguars out of Kentucky.
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.
