Braelon Allen Named NFL Rookie of the Week

News summary

Braelon Allen, a rookie running back for the New York Jets, showcased his talent during a 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots, amassing 55 rushing yards on 11 carries and 13 receiving yards from three catches. This performance follows his recognition as the NFL's Rookie of the Week after scoring two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans, making him the youngest player in league history to achieve this feat. At only 20 years old, Allen stands out as the youngest player in the NFL, with Jets star Breece Hall acknowledging Allen's potential as a powerful complement in their backfield duo. The Jets have effectively utilized Allen's skills, particularly in the receiving game, enhancing his offensive role each week. With 96 rushing yards and 45 receiving yards over three games, Allen's growth suggests he could become a significant contributor as the season progresses. His impressive start raises questions about how he slipped to the fourth round of the NFL Draft despite his collegiate success at Wisconsin.
