I’ll be doing comprehensive scouting reports on each of the Jacksonville Jaguars draft selections from now up until OTAs.
First up is the first pick — Kentucky defensive end and linebacker Josh Allen.
Background and character
Allen was an overlooked two-star recruit who only had one offer from FCS school Monmouth University in New Jersey before Mark Stoops and Kentucky swooped in late in the process to offer him. After arriving on campus at UK at 208 pounds, Allen has become a self-made prospect, working his way to becoming one of the most fearsome and productive pass rushers in the SEC and earning team captain honors in 2018.
