During an interview on The Audible, Chargers beat writer Michael Gehlken (San Diego Union-Tribune) says that rookie WR Keenan Allen (California) has been drawing some Reggie Wayne (Colts) comparisons at Chargers camp. Gehlken also said Allen’s smoothness and route running immediately stand out.
Our View: Allen could be a steal for the Chargers if he can stay healthy and play up to his potential. He has elite talent but fell to the third-round in the 2013 NFL draft largely due to a PCL injury that slowed him during the pre-draft process. Allen could be a quality WR2 for the Chargers in the near future but this season may have limited opportunity behind guys like Vincent Brown, Danario Alexander, Eddie Royal, and Malcom Floyd.
