I like this pick a lot.Jamaaliver wrote:Is this guy the next Michael 'The Burner' Turner?Bleacher ReportTyler Allgeier, RB, BYU
Strengths: Powerful lower body, runs behind pads, consistently plays through and creates after contact, competent receiver and pass-blocker
Weaknesses: Lacks speed to be an outside running threat, limited route-runner, ball security
Tyler Allgeier is a freight train ready to run over whoever gets in his way. Allgeier is a punishing runner with more juice than expected. The proof is in the numbers.
The 22-year-old finished third in the FBS last season with 1,606 rushing yards and tied for first with 23 rushing touchdowns. He earned the second-highest rushing grade, piled up the most yards after contact and forced the fourth-most missed tackles since the 2020 campaign, per Pro Football Focus. Allgeier is not just a thumper between the tackles, though. His 25 runs of 20 or more yards were third-most over the last two seasons, according to the 33rd Team.
The 224-pounder will never be mistaken for Nick Chubb and his amazing footwork or Jonathan Taylor and his explosive speed or Alvin Kamara and his versatility. But Allgeier knows how to run with patience and vision before he blasts through the hole and has enough of a spurt to create chunk plays.
The Atlanta Falcons can't rely on Cordarrelle Patterson as their primary ball-carrier. Allgeier can be the workhorse and punish defenders in head coach Arthur Smith’s zone-heavy scheme.
Grade: A
I won't be surprised if hr makes an impact fr day one.
