Panthers Court Allen

Roger Allen has been forced to sit out of this week’s 2009 Combine because of a hernia, but the standout Division II college player is not sweating the injury too much, knowing he has already lined up interviews with the Carolina Panthers and the Dallas Cowboys in the meantime. Allen, one of the most decorated offensive linemen to come out of Missouri Western State University, has been tearing it up as a senior for the Griffons and is now looking to the pros, as he was invited to participate in this year’s Combine.

Both the Panthers and the Cowboys are two of the leading teams courting Allen as the NFL Draft approaches, and both teams have invited the O-lineman to in-depth interviews with head coaches, o-line coaches, GM and scouts. Roger Allen is expected to be drafted between the fourth and sixth rounds of April’s draft, or would likely be signed as a free agent in the case that he is not drafted. Even though Allen is sitting out of the Combine, he is still interviewing with several teams and is expected to gear up for Missouri’s pro day on March 19 and Missouri Western’s on April 2. Will Roger Allen suit up in Panther blue next season? Stay tuned to find out!
