Brian Allen

Allen's value to the Rams was set in March, as he signed a three-year, $24 million deal to remain as the Rams' starting center after being named as an alternate to the Pro Bowl in 2021. Entering his fourth year in the league, Allen will be a stalwart at the position with Coleman Shelton operating as the backup.

Former starting center Austin Blythe signed with the Chiefs during the offseason, so Allen projects to compete for the starting role during training camp. Allen sustained a significant MCL injury in November of 2019, and he hasn't seen the field since. He was healthy to start 2020, but was buried on the depth chart and then sustained another knee injury. Former starting right guard Austin Corbett took starting center reps during spring minicamps, and Allen ran with the second offense while also playing some right guard. Corbett appears to be the better fit for the schematic change the Rams are looking to deploy with their offensive line. However, the organization invested a fourth round pick in Allen in the 2018 NFL Draft, so he'll probably crack the 53-man roster. He has nine career starts, after all.
