"Early on, he grasped the playbook and what we were asking him to do. He has a natural feel for space out there after the snap... He's got great physical traits; they were showing up after the snap, his mental stuff was good pre-snap, and you can build on that. That's exciting."

Allen shows natural ability and playbook grasp despite bone bruise recovery.

Rookie wide receiver Cyrus Allen is recovering from a bone bruise and is listed as "day to day," but pass-game coordinator Joe Bleymaier provided an encouraging assessment of his camp performance. Bleymaier noted Allen "grasped the playbook and what we were asking him to do" and "has a natural feel for space out there after the snap." Bleymaier emphasized that despite learning the offense, "once the ball is snapped, natural ability gets shoved down a little bit. You could still see that he was playing with that natural ability. He's got great physical traits; they were showing up after the snap, his mental stuff was good pre-snap, and you can build on that. That's exciting."
