Josh Allen NFL Network Interview

Jackson threw for over 3,500 yards in both seasons as Louisville’s full-time starter.

Analyst Daniel Jeremiah called Allen “the big victor of the day” and thought Mayfield had the second-best outing. He even acknowledged his performance coach Ryan Flaherty was “not too far off” recently when he said Allen would be able to throw the ball 90 yards in the air at his upcoming pro day.

Other surprise picks in this projection include UTSA edge defender Marcus Davenport (No. 7 overall, Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki (No. 27 overall, New Orleans Saints) and Florida State pass rusher Josh Sweat (No. 31 overall, New England Patriots).

“First things first, they’d get a victor”, Mayfield said.

“For a taller, longer-armed guy”, Quinn said, referring to Allen, “sometimes you can get a little long with your motion because you’ve got longer extremities”. So I think it’s a good spot to be in, if you are fortunate enough to be taken by them – whether it be at No. 1 or 4.

“He actually had a really good day”, Miller said.

Jackson talked about the idea of switching to wide receiver at the combine on Friday, stating “That’s insane, you know, I thought I did a good job at quarterback!”.

“It’s going to be a different Lamar”, Jackson said. His arm strength is through the roof. Not only did Allen turn plenty of heads, but he upstaged every other quarterback at the Combine. “You can tell it’s just easier for him to push the ball down the field”.

The Giants were scheduled to meet Friday night with Darnold, Rosen and Allen.

In fact, on one pass he threw the ball almost 70 yards from the 10-yard line past the opposite 25-yard line, leading to the first crowd eruption at the combine.

“I don’t know where it comes from”, Quessenberry added, when asked about the criticism Rosen gets.

“Because I felt like it was just the best decision for me”, Darnold said Friday.

That’s nothing, I heard he once threw UW-CSU Border War game ball from War Memorial Stadium in Laramie and dropped it in on the 50-yard line of the now defunct Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins.

Allen continued to draw comparisons to Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz. They are also just about the same size.

The only of the top four quarterbacks not to throw: USC’s Sam Darnold. He said that his biggest focus while working in California has been his footwork. The swagger that John Elway is looking for? Game and player highlights, news stories, team and player-related features, Fantasy football videos, NFL event coverage and more.

“He’s got a bigger arm than Wentz”.

But the larger questions surrounding Allen pertain to his accuracy. I think it was just some split-second decision making that led to some of the turnovers. “Watch how they come in, their presence, and observe how they describe what they’re doing on the field to see how quickly in some ways they would transition to our game”.

Despite lacking ideal height, the 6-foot-? The Heisman Trophy victor also seemed to be very comfortable in the spotlight.

“The NFL is a very daunting organization”, he said. “So that’s where I think my best attribute is – I can sit in the pocket and really pick defenses apart”.

Carr admitted his expectations for Mayfield were exceeded.

“[Shurmur] kind of reminds me of how my offensive coordinator was at Wyoming“, Allen continued. That’s just one step closer to everything I need to accomplish.
