Allen's gadget-play reps and punt returns signal multi-role roster value.

The wide receiver got reps with gadget plays previously belonging to players like Mecole Hardman, and also got reps returning punts. The source suggests Allen and running back Brashard Smith are the most likely candidates to serve as role players and change-ups in the new-look Chiefs offense, with the team potentially looking to save roster spots by letting these guys serve multiple roles.
