Braelon Allen forcing himself into major Jets role as 20-year-old rookie
NY Post
The recollections and stories about seeing Braelon Allen on a football field for the first time follow a near identical trajectory.
There is the initial impression of a youngster with an impressive physique, followed by an emphatic realization.
In 2021, the rookie running back was just a 17-year-old who had skipped his senior year of high school to join the Wisconsin Badgers early.
Joe Tippmann, the second-year Jets center, was on that Badgers team as well and blocked for Allen for two seasons before the two were reunited as teammates this year.
“I remember him showing up, he was 17 years old, he was someone who was supposed to be going into his senior year and then reclassified, nobody knew what that meant,” Tippmann said on Monday. “Him walking in, we’re like, ‘Alright, whatever, this guy thinks he can just skip his senior year of football,’ and then first practice we step out there and I think he ran over three or four dudes. Immediately, everything switched. It was like, ‘I really like this guy.’ ”
Fast forward three years, and Jets head coach Robert Saleh’s early takeaways sound eerily similar.
