What do you make of Kyle Allen?

[Slaine]

A number of teams are kicking the tyres on him despite minimal film and a failed Houston transfer.
Thoughts?

Short stay a Houston. Which ended with a 4 to 4 INT TD ratio. (not impressive)

His Texas A&M stats are just ok.

Has the look of a UDFA statistically.

meh

He's a pud.

Next.

Based on stats.

Nah

You can see my write up below. In short great short to intermediate accuracy but not a great deep ball. Nice footwork and can escape pressure. Needs work on reading defenses.

UDFA but I think he’d be a great practice squad candidate.

Sorry. Hadn't seen your thread on him.

You may not know who Kyle Allen is. But he used to be a pretty big deal.

Allen was ranked the top high school quarterback prospect in America in 2014 by Rivals, Scout and ESPN. By October of that year, he’d wrested the starting job at Texas A&M from Kenny Hill. Allen had the size, athleticism and arm to make NFL types drool.

Then, it all came undone. A&M brought in another touted QB recruit in 2015, Allen had a tumultuous sophomore year, transferred to Houston, then was benched by the Cougars’ new coaching staff. So he decided to declare for this year’s draft, even though 14 of his 17 collegiate starts happened more than two seasons ago. And so he knew what questions were coming—and they have come.


“That’s usually the main question,” Kyle Allen said Tuesday afternoon, after wrapping up a private workout with the Seahawks. “Teams just want me to walk them through what went on in college, and everything that happened between high school and then. It is a mystery to some teams that don’t know a lot of the details. That’s probably what we’ve talked about most.”

So maybe the questions get a little old for Allen, but he knows well the flip side of the equation. The lofty status he held as an 18-year-old is a piece of the puzzle, and not an insignificant one, in why so many teams are interested in him. And that’s where we have this week’s lesson.

I had high hopes for him when he transferred to Houston....he had to sit a year and came in as the starter when Greg Ward Jr went to the NFL...he was very inconsistent. He is accurate enough on short stuff but can not get the ball deep, he would have had more picks if the WRs had not out fought the secondary on under thrown deep balls. He was benched for the guy who was Ward's back up who then lost the job to a sophomore....

no interest at all in this kid
