Allen, an undrafted rookie from the University of Houston, served as third option behind Cam Newton throughout training camp and the preseason. It’s hard to make an impact from that position, but the only way to do so is by seizing the moment, something Allen acknowledged.

It seems every year they have a new pro football league. Maybe one of these can stick at some point for a spring league. XFL returning is probably the best bet.
