2026 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about MARCUS ALLEN:
North Carolina | Hometown: Marietta, GA | HT: 6016 | WT: 191 | 40 time: 4.50 | Hand: 0814 | Arm: 3212 | Wing: 7834
Three-year starter. Highly experienced corner prospect with tons of experience. Has played in both the boundary and the field in North Carolina's defense. Possesses a solid build with quality muscle definition and notable length. Flashes a two-hand jam and utilizes a smooth turn off the line to mirror threats on the stem. Sufficient man coverage skills; possesses speed and technique to carry receivers across and down the field. Sinks hips well with disciplined eyes to match receivers on sharp breaks. Leverages targets well in his zone and takes away the most dangerous threat based on quarterback eyes. Fascinating athletic profile with loose hips and agility help him cover his zone. Ball skills flash everywhere in coverage; utilizes his length and anticipation to break up passes often. Looks back when in-phase to locate the ball in the air and time up his swats. Shows eagerness to come down and support the run. Willing to throw himself into blocks to set an edge on the perimeter. Stutters can cause him to commit too hard causing him to give up leverage. High pads in his backpedal causes him to transition late downhill. Speedy receivers can separate downfield on vertical routes, adding concern to his man coverage skills at the next level. Bigger receivers can out-physical him at the catchpoint to come away with completions. Loses contain when coming down in the box letting runners get outside of him. High number of missed tackles in space mostly due to lunging. Angles to the ball need improvement.
2025 Stats: 36 T, 2 TFL, .5 sack, 8 PBU. OSR:17/23. VJ-39. Draft projection: 7th round/PFA
