Allen is an early investment in the middle of the defense. The PUP start only delayed camp work, not the long-term plan. He has the pedigree of a Georgia defender and the Colts clearly drafted him to bring energy, communication and range to the linebacker room.
Strengths: High-end college program background, youth, competitiveness and a draft investment that signals real upside. He has the profile to grow into a leadership role.
Weaknesses: He is still a rookie and missed early camp time on PUP. He must learn pro communication, route concepts and the physical demands of taking on NFL blockers.
