Zach Allen is a human Rice Krispie.
On the snap, he crackles and pops offensive linemen.
Wednesday, a single play explained his brilliance. Quarterback Bo Nix caught the ball in the shotgun and center Luke Wattenberg and left guard Ben Powers slid the protection over to Allen. With four hands and 610 pounds locked on his chest, Allen did not flinch, holding the point of attack and freeing edge rusher Nik Bonitto to get around Garett Bolles.
A few players later, Allen provided pressure up the middle, making a running back’s life miserable.
The Broncos are having the type of training camp that has players talking about the Super Bowl without smirking.
