Josh Allen ready for draft 'process' to be over

ARLINGTON, Texas — Wyoming’s Josh Allen has everything an NFL scout could want in a quarterback.

At 6-5, 240 pounds he’s big and strong enough to hang in the pocket and fight off pass rushers. His mobility is excellent. And there’s that arm, which can launch the football impossibly long distances and get it to receivers in an instant.

But . . .

There’s also that unsightly 56.2 completion percentage in 2017, which ranked a mere 82nd among FBS passers. That’s not the kind of number one would expect from a quarterback expected to be among the top five players taken in the 2018 NFL Draft — and could be a target for the Jets, who pick third, or the Giants at No.
