2. Josh Allen is the new Khalil Mack

I’m not one to use hyperbole or hype up a product that isn’t what it actually is, but Josh Allen is the real deal. He is the most versatile pass rusher I’ve seen in college since Khalil Mack was playing at Buffalo, and he compare favorably to the former Bull and current Chicago Bear defensive end. He also had a great nose for the football in this game as he recovered to fumbles, both from Jake Fromm.

Allen is likely be the best pass rusher in the country now that Nick Bosa is no longer with the Ohio State program. He has accumulated 56 tackles coming into the game today, along with 14.5 tackles for loss, ten sacks, four pass breakups and five forced fumbles. He is the definition of a game-changer and has a great shot to see his stock rise meteorically over the next few months before the NFL Draft.

Allen will continue to terrorize opponents for the rest of the season, but now a lot more people will be paying attention to him after his solid performance against Georgia.
