Broncos Wire’s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at second-year outside linebacker Christopher Allen, No. 45. (During the offseason, more than one player can wear the same number if they play on different sides of the ball. Allen wears No. 45 on defense.)
Before the Broncos: Allen (6-4, 242 pounds) battled through injuries at Alabama, but he was part of a defense that won a pair of national championships during his time at the school. In his only fully-healthy season in 2020, Allen totaled 37 tackles (13 behind the line), six sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 11 games. After earning second-team All-SEC honors in 2020, Allene broke his foot in the 2021 season opener and missed the rest of his senior season.
