Will Alabama defensive lineman Jonathan Allen be one of the first players picked in the 2017 NFL Draft on Thursday night? His visits with NFL teams certainly seem to indicate he will be.
Allen was brought in for private visits by five NFL teams during the pre-draft process - the teams that hold the second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh selections in the first round.
NFL teams have many means to meet draft prospects face-to-face after the season, including the Reese's Senior Bowl in Mobile, the NFL Scouting Combine and college pro days.
