Austin Allen to Giants

Should have signed with Washington they have a specific position made for him. Those idiots didn't even look his way

He's better off with the Colts. They are not run by idiots.

I was hopeful the Broncos would sign him. Really wanted to see him back in Colorado.

JoJo was best available the entire day on ESPN. Hope he catches on somewhere.

I think JoJo will surprise. Dude makes plays. He’s a footballer and has all the attitude you want. Wish him the best.

I wonder if its better to be drafted as a free agent then get paid after a good rookie year or to get drafted and get on a rookie contract for 3-4 years.

I know I’m a dreaded Iowa guy but I am also a Colt fan, I really like JoJo and I hope he can stick with the Colts. He is the hard nosed work ethic type guy that is easy to pull for when he is not playing against your team.

 

[BigB87]

I'm amazed nobody took a flyer on him with a late round pick. Even if he is a tweener. If he just becomes a special teams core guy, probably would be worth a 7th rounder. Hopefully he has a solid career and proves teams wrong for passing on him.

 

[SLOHusker]

I am going out on a limb here and will say he'll be in the league a while. Really a good, hard-nosed, instinctive player that makes plays and has versatility. I thought he'd go in the 4th or 5th round. I also wish he'd have been signed by the Broncos so he could play back home.

Apparently nobody saw his game against Ohio St and all its NFL talent while playing with a broken hand. That game was one of the best I've seen for a single NU player.

I agree...he's to small for linebacker and to slow for safety. But I truelly believe he will play in the NFL for 10 years. He has heart and effort. He knows how to play football.

He'll be a beast on special teams and might make a roster just based on that.

There's some benefit to being able to pick a team with a leaner depth chart at your position but I heard a talking head former player yesterday who said that when it comes time for roster cutdowns it's almost always better to have been drafted. The GM doesn't want to cut guys he just drafted.

Shocked Jojo went undrafted. Very shocked. People keep calling him a tweener but it makes no sense as there are plenty of LBs in the NFL now that are even smaller than he is. Lavonte David comes to mind right away. Is JoJo smaller than Will Compton? I don't think so.

I guess his double ACL history and perhaps some other health stuff we aren't privy to came back to hurt him. He is also on the older side so maybe that is "athletic depreciation" being factored in.

I know this: there are not a lot of guys at 230 pounds that can accelerate like he does. Football is all about the F=ma so I have a lot of faith in JoJo making a roster somewhere.

I think he played faster for us than his 40 time. I won't be surprised if he makes a practice squad. As an UDFA, that has to be the main goal for now.
