During the 2024 offseason, the Green Bay Packers hope to elevate their whole roster from playoff to championship level. That’s a tremendously fantastic position to be in despite trading away future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers just one offseason before.
Jordan Love and the youthful collection of weapons surrounding him had an amazing 2023 campaign. However, one bruising playmaker might propel them to the next level.
The Green Bay Packers Host Bruising Running Back
According to Insider Easton Butler:
The Packers invited Wisconsin Badgers RB Braelon Allen, LS Peter Bowden, and IOL Tanor Bortolini to their Local Pro Day.
According to Bleacher Report, Braelon Allen is rated in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Derrik Klassen, an offensive skill position scout at Bleacher Report, said:
“Allen is a throwback to a previous era in football. Allen stands at 6’2” and weighs 245 pounds, but he moves like a runner. He’s a hammer between the tackles, and it’s difficult to bring him down with only one tackler unless you cut him down at the ankles like a gigantic tree.
Allen is also more agile than his appearance suggests. He isn’t going to knock anyone out of their shoes, but he is quite graceful behind the line of scrimmage. Allen still needs to work on his passing downs, but he’s a young player with rushing potential who is worth investing in.
Everyone likes to downplay Braelon Allen’s power, but as we’ll see here, he can truck you if you’re not careful.
His troubles stem from the volatility of his pad level, not a lack of power.
The Packers Could Very Well Be Interested In Braelon Allen
If the Packers choose Allen in 2024, he may have an immediate impact in the NFL. Green Bay has seen a surge in youth at quarterback, wide receiver, running back, and tight end in recent seasons.
Braelon Allen, Josh Jacobs (long term) and AAJ Dillon (short term) would make for an outstanding backfield.
