Top NFL draft prospect and former Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen splits his time between battling 300-pound linemen in the trenches with engaging in gaming and virtual reality.
A top-five projected pick this Thursday night in Philadelphia, Allen recently described how his interest in computers specifically started in high school but increased when he attended college in 2013. Over the past four years, gaming and its intersection with virtual reality has drawn Allen’s attention even further.
“Recently, the virtual reality thing came out so I’ve been really interested in that,” he told FOXSports.com in February.
