While at Alabama, Allen finished with 28.5 sacks, which is the second most ever by an Alabama player. The 2016 Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year also received the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award and Ted Hendricks Award.
He was chosen by the Redskins with the 17th overall pick in the first round of this year’s draft.
