GN draft decisions: Arkansas QB Brandon Allen

Brandon Allen was the quarterback Arkansas fans loved to disparage until his senior season, when he threw for 3,440 yards and 30 touchdowns. In the process, Allen turned himself into a potential draft pick.

Gridironnow.com’s Amanda Borges takes a look at the pros and cons of Allen as an NFL quarterback prospect.

Allen flourished as a senior under new coordinator Dan Enos. Allen is comfortable under center and has a solid, if not overpowering, arm. He showed in Enos’ offense that he can throw on the run and hit almost 67 percent of his passing attempts in 2015, when he threw just eight interceptions.
