The New York Jets may have found a steal in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft when they selected former Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen with the No. 134 overall pick. Despite being one of the youngest players in the entire class and possessing excellent size at 6-foot-1, 235 pounds, there were nine running backs selected over him.

Allen first broke through with a seven-carry, 33-rushing-yard, four-reception, 23-receiving-yard, two-touchdown performance in the New York Jets’ Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. His 20-yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter proved the difference in the 24-17 win.

Braelon Allen is the youngest player in the NFL this season. The Jets rookie running back became the youngest player in 94 years to score a touchdown when he took a Rodgers’ screen pass and ran it in for the score in Sunday's win at Tennessee. The 40-year-old Rodgers is the NFL’s oldest player.
