‘”I think I’ve grown a tremendous amount. I’ve learned about kind of a different side of football, the preparation in which it takes,” said Allen of his lessons learned as a rookie. “The game in the NFL is a lot different. It’s extremely tough. No win is given, it’s all earned. That’s something that I can look back on and say that this is kind of how my rookie year went. It wasn’t great, it wasn’t terrible, but I did enjoy it and I love the game of football.’
