Interview with Keenan Allen

by Colan (niner) Mon 22 Apr 2013, 18:33

The final installment of our special NFL Draft interview series sees Colan Lamont and Jonathon Moar talk to former Golden Bear and soon to be NFL wide receiver Keenan Allen.

The California standout had long been considered the consensus number one receiver in this draft class until he was struck by a serious injury to his knee.

Now, at almost 100%, Allen expects to see no change in how NFL scouts feel about him post injury, and fully expects to be among the first 32 picks.

Allen tells us about the pressures he has faced after seeing himself apparently slipping down draft boards, and also about the hard work it has taken to get back to his best. He also talks about his time at Cal, as well as why he believes that he is the best wide receiver in this year's draft class. He also talks about his 40 yard dash time, which came out slower than had potentially been expected.
