player. 55. Pick Analysis. LB. Kentucky. Josh Allen. 29. Scouting Report

The “other” Josh Allen had himself a great junior year for Kentucky, recording 66 tackles with 10.5 of them being for loss and seven sacks.

Allen has great size for someone who can move in coverage and hang with running backs, standing 6-5 and weighing 230 pounds.

He’s a two-year starter in the SEC and helped the Wildcats become bowl eligible.

For his career, Allen made 132 tackles, including 20.5 for loss, with 14.5 sacks and picked off a pass.

The Steelers just seem to love finding athletic freaks to use on the defensive side of the ball, and Allen fits that mold.
