Former Badgers RB Braelon Allen shines in first preseason with the New York Jets

The Wisconsin Badgers had two players selected in the 2024 NFL Draft: running back Braelon Allen and center Tanor Bortolini.

While the latter has mainly competed as a backup to starter Ryan Kelly at center with the Indianapolis Colts, the former has looked to lock down the No. 2 running back role with the New York Jets in the preseason behind star Breece Hall.

Through the preseason, Allen has impressed, rushing for 81 yards on 14 carries, resulting in him likely locking up the backup role in New York.
