His goal is simple: “I feel like I’ll be the best defensive player in the National Football League, and I’ll work at that every day.'
Allen spoke highly of those teammates in his first media availability on Tuesday. Not just the defensive players but of Trevor Lawrence and how excited they both are for the upcoming season.“I feel like this offseason I’ve prepared — I’ve worked my butt off,” he said on how he feels coming into the season. “I learned, I grew, I got physically stronger, I got mentally stronger. I feel like no one can stop me.
“I feel like I’ll be the best defensive player in the National Football League, and I’ll work at that every day. That’s my mentality and it helped me stay with that mentality.” Allen has 116 total tackles and 20.5 sacks through three seasons. He’s the first rookie in team history to make the Pro Bowl and has been voted as a captain for the last two seasons. He missed eight games during the 2020 season which put a hit on his career statistics but bounced back by playing in 16 games during the 2021 season.
“I know the work I’ve put in, and I know the sacrifice, and I know the discipline I’ve put in each day to get to that level,” he said. “It’s really up to me and I really do believe that. I’m going to believe that until the end of the season, the end of the post season and I’m going to work like that every day.”
On both practice days so far, Allen and a group of defensive players have gotten extra reps after the team is finished for the day. It’s something that he did during the offseason OTA’s and likely something he’ll continue doing if it’ll help him and the team.
