I'm not sure why Allen doesn't get more respect.
From this article [
www.turfshowtimes.com] :
Pro Football Focus ranked the NFL’s best centers heading into the 2023 season. Coming in at number 12 on their list was Allen. Here’s what PFF’s Gordon McGuinness had to say,“Allen’s career took a big step forward in 2021, his third season after entering the league as a fourth-round rookie out of Michigan State in 2018. He finished that season as the 10th highest-graded player at the position while his 79.7 PFF run blocking grade ranked eighth.”He has certainly been hurt often, but if he plays Sunday and makes it thru the game (big if, I know) the Rams OL should be fine.
