FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Tyler Allgeier likes to bowl. It’s a fun hobby of his, and he’s pretty good at it – professing an average around 180. That Allgeier likes to bowl seems to fit, in many ways, with the profession he’s about to embark on.
If you watch Allgeier run, he often seems like a bowling ball when he makes contact with defenders, who sometimes can scatter like pins on impact. He’s a physical, punishing runner – qualities Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith likes in his backs, which is why he was a pick who made a lot of sense for the franchise in the fifth round of the NFL draft last weekend.
