Jaguars Addd Second Rookie RB in LeQuint Allen

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Syracuse RB LeQuint Allen with the 236th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Allen is one of the best receiving backs in the 2025 class, notching 103 receptions for 731 yards and five TDs over the past two seasons. He also has two straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons as Syracuse’s primary RB. Allen’s track background equips him with solid speed and change of direction ability to be a rotational back in the NFL. His power and forced missed tackle metrics are underwhelming, though. Among 82 RBs with 150+ carries, Allen ranked 72nd in yards after contact per attempt and 72nd in Pro Football Focus Elusive Rating. There’s also plenty of improvement needed as a pass blocker. Allen is at least on the young side for a rookie, turning just 21 in August.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

As a Round 7 pick, Allen will be unlikely to crack the Jaguars roster, especially after they already drafted RB Bhayshul Tuten of Virginia Tech in Round 4.

Allen gives 110% effort and has an impressive receiving profile.

With a new regime taking over, they could see Allen as an upside third-down RB play who could be developed over time.

Dynasty Impact

Allen is unlikely to be a rookie pick with the late draft capital and crowded situation for the Jaguars.
