Allen completed just 49.6 percent of his passes and threw a relatively pedestrian 13 touchdowns (against 10 interceptions) when he first emerged as a starter in 2013 but he showed steady progress as a junior (56% completion rate with 20 touchdowns and just six interceptions) and emerged as arguably the most consistent quarterback in the SEC as a senior, leading the power conference in passer rating (166.48), yards per attempt (9.3), and passing touchdowns against Southeastern Conference opponents (21). Overall, Allen completed 65.9% of his passes and tossed 30 touchdowns against just eight interceptions - the second highest total in school history and setting a new school mark for the most scoring passes over a career with 64.
While scouts will appreciate the steady development Allen showed over his career, he lacks the preferred size to earn high marks. A streaky week at the Senior Bowl further raised concerns that his gaudy production was perhaps inflated by the talent and scheme at Arkansas.
WEAKNESSES: Lacks ideal size, including with his hands, which were measured at just 8 1/2" at the Senior Bowl -- a half inch smaller than what many NFL clubs consider to be the minimum for the position. Protected by the talent and scheme at Arkansas, which featured the biggest offensive line in all of football (including the NFL) and often allowed him to make relatively easy pre-snap reads to locate single coverage. Despite starting three for three seasons, doesn't throw with great anticipation, typically staring down his primary receiver and waiting for him to get open. Isn't a true scrambler and lacks the speed to threaten NFL defenses with his legs. Took chances at the Senior Bowl but paid for it, at times, throwing some regrettable interceptions throughout the week of practice.
IN OUR VIEW: Last summer, scouts viewed Allen as a camp arm and longshot to be drafted, but with his productive senior year, he will receive draftable grades from some teams as he has shown the necessary skills to develop into a backup at the next level.
