The former Georgia Tech running back has a big chip on his shoulder and wishes to show the rest of the league what they passed on. In college, Allen proved to be a big threat in Georgia Tech’s triple option running attack where he rushed for 1,934 yards and 12 touchdowns in two seasons. … [visit site to read more]
