Brandon allen

Otis Kirk on 247, says Chad Reuter from nfl.com has Allen going in the third round 92 overall to the Arizona Cardinals, don't know who this guy is, but if that were to be the case, it would be fantastic for Brandon.

That would be a great spot to land, no doubt.

That would be great. Finally a HOG I can watch in Arizona.

Go HOGS Go!

Hope that happens for him. Teams expect 3rd round picks to make the team.

Mf'er deserves it as much as anyone else. Took his mental beatings, coaching instabilities, and had his truck lit on fire. Did nothing but grind it out and improve year after year.

Agreed. The guy must be one of the most mentally tough kids we've ever had. The pounding that kid took from fans would have crippled most QBs. I honestly think the sky is the limit for a player with his physical tools and the mental fortitude he has. Wouldn't be surprised in the least if out of all the QBs we've had come through Arkansas (Stoerner, MJ, TJack, Mallet, Wilson) that BA turns out to have the most successful NFL career out of all of them. I just stopped questioning the kid a long time ago because he kept proving me wrong. Learned my lesson.

I was not happy with his 4th quarter play even at the start of this year.  Was it finally having a QB coach using teachable moments or did he just say I'm tired of it and will make the difference?  Don't know but just glad his last several games were some of the best QB play I've seen that I can really remember over the last 35 years.  He has the arm strength and football knowledge to be successful plus being coachable.  Doesn't seem to have an entitled attitude at all.  Plus, he seems to have become as physically and mentally tough as boot leather.  Nothing but success for BA and loved seeing the end result of your hard work.

I think BA's best attribute is one that coach B and his brother have both mentioned recently as a difference between the two of them.  BA isn't emotional.  He's even keeled through adversity and triumph.  I think that's something he always had in him, but that he really embraced towards the end of his career here.  Hopefully little bro doesn't let the emotions take over too often.

I was a HUGE BA critic. The Missouri debacle was the low point for me.

But ...

Two years ago, he made a big jump. This past year, his improvement was even more.

His senior season -- despite some bumps -- was really, really good. Hope he has a long NFL career in whatever capacity his talent and moxie allow.

All speculation, and then there is that zoo they call draft day, always a surprise or two.

He was always chill and talkative on Dickson st.  Cool dude.

With this and a buck fifty you can buy a cup of coffee but......I think BA may have more going than backup potential if he goes to the right team.

AZ would be great for him.  Palmer is a quality veteran with a couple years left in him.
