2018 NFL Draft: Josh Allen graduates, Senior Bowl in doubt

One of the biggest questions in the 2018 NFL Draft has officially graduated

Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen crossed the stage in Laramie, helping secure the possibility he becomes available for the 2018 NFL Draft. It wasn’t a given he’d graduate in time to be eligible for the Senior Bowl but a late push got him over the finish line.

According to sources, Allen may not partake in one of the draft’s premier exhibition games.

Once thought to be a rising collegiate star for the Cowboys Allen slipped in the beginning of the season thanks to turnovers and a lack of experience around him. His upside is still intriguing NFL talent evaluators and the senior quarterback carries a high draft projection.

Ultimately it’ll be Allen’s decision whether or not to feature himself in Mobile, but there may be people in his ear pushing him towards staying healthy and training on the side.
