Brian Allen is a 6’3”, 215-pound wide receiver-turned cornerback. So it stands to reason that he figures his physicality to be a key part of his game. And he also knows that that can be a liability for him with the way that the officiating continually polices such play from the secondary with greater stringency as the years go by.
This is something that the former fifth-round pick discussed with the team’s website earlier this month as he prepares for his third NFL season, which he hopes is the first in which he gets the opportunity to be a contributor on defense rather than being used only on special teams.
