AD is small, London fletcher was small, Russell Wilson is small, Alex Mack is small.
There are a ton of good OL that were small (300 pounds) over the years. This dismissal of Allen because he is only 300 pounds seems silly to me.
Point taken. But I will go further. Allen is listed at 6'2" 303. Compared to guards and tackles that might be "small," but not compared to a lot of other NFL centers.
Jason Kelce, the Eagles's first rate center, is listed at 6'3" 295.
Corey Linsley, the Packers's first rate center, is listed at 6'3 301
Rodney Hudson, first rate center for the Chiefs then the Raiders, is listed at 6'2" 300.
Those are 3 of the best in the game, they say. There's more.
David Andrews, the Patz center, is 6'3 300.
Pat Elfein, the Vikes center, is 6'3 303.
Ryan Kalil, the Panthers center, is 6'2 300.
6 is enough to make the point so I stopped looking. You're right--being that size is just not rare at center.
Can Allen play? Stay tuned. But if he can't, it
won't be because of size.
