What are draft experts saying in their scouting reports about the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 236th overall pick, Syracuse running back LeQuint Allen?
Allen has been a key part of the Syracuse offense for two seasons now, rushing for over 1,000 yards each year, while also totaling 64 receptions just in the 2024 season. That ability to pass-catch out of the backfield will be an important element in Liam Coen’s offense.
For more on Lane’s fit with the Jaguars specifically, you can find that here. But for what the draft experts have to say about his game, let’s take a look.
Scouting reports for Jaguars draft pick RB LeQuint Allen
The Athletic
Dane Brugler: “. Overall, Allen is an upright, determined runner with good short-area quickness, although what separates him is his production on passing downs — running routes, finishing catches and holding up as a pass blocker. I like his chances of becoming an electric committee back and special-teamer in the NFL.”
NFL.com
Lance Zierlein: “Allen is a versatile back with adequate size and speed. He’s decisive and gets what he can on most carries but lacks burst, imagination and contact force to create on his own. He’s a reliable pass-catching option with natural hands and an ability to run routes and find yards after the catch. His pass-protection willingness and execution stands out against others in this class. Allen’s ability to cover kicks and return punts adds to his value as a potential Day 3 pick who could compete for a role as a third-down option.”
33rd Team
Kyle Crabbs: “Allen projects as a rotational back and potential third-down specialist at the NFL level. He offers good vision as a runner but is not built for heavy workloads between the tackles. Instead, he shines on the edges and is a slippery assignment in routes while showing the needed appetite for contact to win as a pass protector.”
