Wisconsin Football Star Delivers Mixed Performance at NFL Combine

Braelon Allen, the former star running back for the Wisconsin football program, didn’t offer NFL scouts a ton of clarity regarding his straight-line speed or agility during drills at the Combine.

Despite skipping the ReliaQuest Bowl to prepare for the Combine, the Fond du Lac native opted out of the 40-yard dash, the 20-yard shuttle, and the three-cone drill, leaving some scouts eager for answers.

Allen later showcased a mixed performance during on-field workouts, exhibiting command and elusiveness in ball-carrying simulations while struggling with a few dropped passes during route-running sessions.

At 20 years old, Braelon Allen is the youngest player in the 2024 NFL Draft and has three consecutive second-team All-Big Ten finishes under his belt, making him an intriguing option for teams as a potential top 100 pick.
