Leon Allen

ANALYSIS
Allen last played in September of 2015, when he suffered a severe knee injury of a still unspecified nature. Allen dealt with at least one setback, but the improbably lengthy absence would seemingly imply that the injury's initial nature was unusually bad. That he's cleared for spring practices, though, indicates a corner was turned in his recovery one way or another. The next issue to confront is his overall remaining athleticism -- Allen was a very good player before his injury, but now it's time to find out if he's still the same player. A big back with standout pass-catching skills, a full recovery from Allen would instantly make him a good bet to be one of the nation's most productive runners. The lack of predictability on that variable means he's a wildcard for now, though.
