A Salute to the 2016 Alabama Seniors: Jonathan Allen

What first-team All-SEC defensive end on a championship-winning team elects to forgo the imminent multi-million dollar offerings of the NFL by skipping the Draft and returning to his university for another championship run?

Jonathan Allen does.

And after a senior season that saw him amass more hardware than a Home Depot, it appears that Allen’s senior season gambit will pay off, as though he was highly-regarded following his outstanding junior campaign that saw the Tide outlast Clemson for the championship, there’s no doubt that the Bama defender will now be a top-5 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
