When Stone Bridge High School head coach Mickey Thompson thinks of his former Virginia Player of the Year, now the Redskins’ 17th-overall pick, Jonathan Allen, he thinks of two different people.
The first is the calm gentleman, who shows off his respectful demeanor around people, and who sounds like he wouldn’t hurt a fly. The second is the one the Redskins hope to see on the field each day, the one who makes you reconsider the person you’ve previously met.
“You have no idea what he is like when he is on the football field,” Thompson said following Allen's introductory press conference at FedExField.
