    Keenan Allen’s 2021-2022 Season

    Edelman’s Reasoning For Picking Allen As a Top-Tier Wide Receiver

    Edelman went into more detail to explain why he ranked Allen as the second-best wide receiver in the league:

    “I love Keenan Allen because his release game. I would always watch his releases. He has that crossover release. And then at the top of his route, there’s a lot of basketball-type s***. It’s like a crossover at the line of scrimmage. Foot fire. And they can get guys going and get them out of bounds and split their hips, he does that real well. He’s always not coverable.”

    The three wide receivers that Edelman mentioned are all great route runners. Allen is one of the best route runners in the league. Although Allen isn’t as quick as Tyreek Hill or Ja’Marr Chase, he knows how to lose a defender and make the quarterback’s job easier.
