Brandon Allen may have been the most improved player in the SEC the last two seasons. Allen threw for 20 touchdowns to only five interceptions in 2014 and finished his Arkansas career with a career-high 3,440 yards and 30 touchdowns to only eight interceptions on 370 attempts. Further, Arkansas made improvements in the win column with Allen leading the way.

Allen was a late add to the Senior Bowl rosters and gets a chance to show he can be a late-round sleeper who can stick on an NFL roster as a developmental arm. He won’t wow anyone with his physical abilities but his demeanor and rapid development the last two years will have teams intrigued.
