Josh Allen — PICS — At 6’5” and 262 pounds, Josh Allen shouldn’t move as quickly as he can. The football star can run the 40-yard dash in 4.63 seconds and make the 10-yard split in 1.61. His speed and size has made him a Top 5 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, which is good considering he was only a two-star recruit in high school. The Montclair, New Jersey native struggled to get to where he is today. Personally, he overcame a powerful stutter as a boy, while facing hazing and bullying when he first started out playing football. Never the less, he persisted and persevered, overcoming all obstacles to become one the highest sought-after players in the NFL. In college, he was named the Defensive Player of the Year, beating out all others. As his NFL career begins, take a look at this defensive giant.
