Washington defensive tackle Jonathan Allen is having an All-Pro season. Yes, All-Pro season. Sure, Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is the best interior defender in the NFL, and that’s not up for debate. But Allen could make his claim as the next best defensive tackle in 2021.
The stats — and the film — back up that statement.
In his fifth season out of Alabama, Allen signed a four-year extension in the offseason and is already proving that was money well spent. Now, Washington fans should help get Allen to his first Pro Bowl.

Allen has six sacks on the season, and in the games where he doesn’t put up big numbers, he’s making life miserable for the opposition’s offensive line.
