Pros: He goes low to try to take out blitzers. Effective receiver out of the backfield. He can juke out a defender in space. Very reliable receiver. Switches hands to protect the ball. Effective pass protector if he stays upright, not nearly as effective when he goes low. He brings some speed and has the look of a perfect 3^rd down back.

Cons: Struggles to break tackles in the box. Inconsistent burst.  Doesn’t appear to change directions quickly, really powers down and can’t stop on a dime.

Summary: Javorius “Buck” Allen has the look of an ideal 3^rd down back in the NFL. He offers some speed, athletic in space and comfortable catching the ball. Is a weapon on screen passes and has a patient feel for setting up his blockers. He lacks tackle breaking ability nor the great vision to find the hole before its there. Too often he is running up the back of his own lineman. Allen is a 5^th round pick who can turn into a valuable member of the team as a 3^rd down back and play special teams.
