Sports fans could use some action right now.
They’ll get some opportunities this month with the WNBA Draft in the middle of the month and the NFL Draft towards the end of the month.
One person who won’t be watching the draft, however, is former Vikings defensive end Jared Allen.
“I think the draft is probably the most boring thing to put on TV imaginable,” Allen said via the Star Tribune. “I guess I’ve never been a big fan of sitting there and getting all crazy and ecstatic about a guy who hasn’t done a single thing in the NFL yet.”
This isn’t exactly a huge surprise. Allen doesn’t seem like the guy to sit down for four straight days to watch the draft. Especially when he’s well aware that it’s not always about where in the draft you’re taken, but instead what you make of it.
Allen was a fourth-round pick in the 2004 NFL Draft.
He ended his career with 136 sacks.
I’d imagine he’d be taken a bit higher in retrospect.
