Braelon Allen Is A Star In The 2024 NFL Draft

No. 29: Braelon Allen, RB, Wisconsin

The third running back inside my top 30 is Wisconsin’s Braelon Allen. The third-year player enters the season with a new head coach, Luke Fickell, guiding the ship. Expect Allen to see a bell-cow workload, the status quo for any Badger RB1.

With two years under his belt and at the ripe age of 19, Allen can solidify his standing as a premier ball carrier in the country. His contact balance is special, and even with a 240-pound frame, his top gear is more than enough for Sundays. We’ll see how his pass-catching traits develop — that likely determines just how early Allen will go.

No. 30: Andrew Mukuba, SAF, Clemson

Clemson may not be at the heights of the Trevor Lawrence era, but every spring we are reminded how much talent roams the locker room in South Carolina. With two linebackers already being featured, let’s highlight Andrew Mukuba next.

Mukuba moves all over the defense for Swinney, spending time at nickel, free safety, and even in the box during his collegiate career. The hard-hitting defensive back is smaller than I prefer, but considering his range and ball skills, this is easier to deal with. Not to mention his willingness to hunt down ball carriers, even if the form leaves room for improvement.
