The New York Jets went all-in on defense in the 2017 NFL Draft, which should pay off for them. However, a gamble on Wyoming Cowboys quarterback Josh Allen in the 2018 NFL Draft should pay future dividends for them too.

Allen had a strong sophomore season at quarterback for the Cowboys in the Mountain West Conference. They had an 8-6 record, much improved from their 2-10 season in 2015.

Allen threw for 3,203 passing yards and 28 touchdowns in 14 starts for Wyoming last season. He completed 56.0 percent of his passes while leading the MWC in passing touchdowns. He was second in passing yards but also first in interceptions with 15.

His return to college shows he’s aware of his need to improve. He has time, now he just needs to grow with his experience. Wyoming faces Iowa (Sept. 2) and Oregon (Sept. 16) next season which should give Allen a chance to prove his abilities to play on the national stage.
