Marcus Allen realizes it's now or never to make an impact with the Steelers

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but what I am about to say is anything but a secret. Time is running out for third year backup safety Marcus Allen to prove he has NFL level abilities and solidify a roster spot with the Steelers.

A fifth round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, Marcus Allen became a instant fan favorite with many members of Steelers Nation as a Penn State alum. I readily admit I was a early fan of the pick. Coupled with the Terrell Edmunds first round selection, the Steelers had doubled down at a position of great need.
