And if you read more about him, he really was like not having fun with football.
And then Cincinnati got him back where he was able to have the 674 yards and the 13 touchdowns.
When we asked the scouts about Allen, I mean, the Chiefs really loved his energy and really feel like he has good makeup and a player who's going to work.
But again, yeah, everything that you're mentioning, 5'11", the 40 time, you know, a little bit slower, really strictly a slot guy.
And so I was also left wondering, like, do we really feel like this player is
is going to be an impact player within the NFL.
I was a little bit confused, but again, we'll see how it all plays out when you factor in the undrafted free agents.
Yeah, I found it very interesting.
I never anticipated the Chiefs non-quarterback at any point in the draft.

And so I think there's a lot of reasons that you could point to, but like, yeah, I mean, I think this was as unexpected for me as it was everybody else.
I think it makes the 53-man roster projection very interesting.
You know, we'll be doing that at the start as well coming up this summer.
And, you know, it's something I did with my previous โ
