Devon Allen brings verified playmaking upside and top-end athleticism to Norfolk State’s secondary
Allen’s 2024 Norfolk State season showed real two-way value in the back end: he started all 12 games, posted 26 tackles, 5 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions, and was rated by PFF as the 20th-best FCS cornerback.[13] The biggest differentiator is his elite speed and competitive ceiling—he’s a world-class hurdler who also flashed NFL-level special-teams value, which tells you the athletic traits are legitimate.[7][17] He fits a team that wants a disciplined, ball-hawking DB with upside and intensity, though his profile is more about traits and disruption than gaudy volume stats.[13][17]
