Hogs Haven on Kaytron Allen
From the article
running back Kaytron Allen demonstrated impressive football intelligence...The key difference between Allen and undrafted rookie Robert Henry Jr., whom he is currently splitting time with, is his ability to manipulate defenders at the first and second levels to create creases he can exploit.
STACKED’s take
Allen's gap manipulation and processing edge him over Henry Jr. in timeshare.
Rookie RB demonstrated impressive football intelligence and gap manipulation skills despite modest statistical output against Detroit. His post-snap processing, vision, and elusiveness help overcome lack of threatening foot speed. Allen saved several would-be negative runs and created positive gains on his own; key differentiator from undrafted rookie Robert Henry Jr., whom he is currently splitting time with, is his ability to manipulate defenders at first and second levels to create creases. The source highlights his strong understanding of gap manipulation and notes that better-quality NFL running backs display Allen's traits of making intentions difficult for defenders to predict at the line of scrimmage.
