Senior Bowl talk

Heard on 670 today when they had Matt Miller on that Spence has been in a voluntary drug program for 2 years and hasn't failed a single test. Asked to stay in it after graduation so he could show teams that he's forreal now.

Take that for whatever it's worth

If that's true, then good for him. He's a supreme talent on the field, his only issues were off the field. Has a bright future if he stays clean.

Agreed. I think he would be an absolute slam dunk for Cleveland for Horton's defense. It couldn't be a more perfect fit, and I would guess he should be available at 32.

Didn't get to watch but Brandon Allen's statline looked pretty good. 7-10 for 100+ yards. Too bad his small hand size will kill him.

Bottom Line
Allen was an afterthought headed into this season but garnered draft attention with high-end production and a substantial spike in his play. On one hand, he is smaller than teams usually like and operated out of a play-action offense that didn’t ask him to get through many progressions. On the other hand, Allen has a quick release, an NFL arm, solid accuracy and good mobility. Allen needs to find the right home and eliminate his tendency to stare down targets, but he has enough talent to become an NFL backup.
