FAYETTEVILLE — I've said it over and over: There's nothing like a fifth-year quarterback with starting experience.
When Brandon Allen finished at Arkansas two years ago, it was stunning how much better he played over his previous years under-center. It helped that his group of receivers matured and more talent was added.
But it was plain to see that Allen was just better.
It wasn't a surprise when the Jacksonville Jaguars made Allen their sixth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Much credit was given to new quarterbacks coach Dan Enos for Allen's development. Without a doubt, Enos added some route concepts that made it easier for the passing game to shine as Allen finished his fifth year at Arkansas.
