Bulls in the Pros: Nate Allen

The Bulls have sent several secondary players to the NFL and one of the players that continues to make a huge impact in the secondary is the Eagles' Nate Allen. Allen, the 3rd year player, continues to make an impact for the Eagles in the tough NFC East despite battling injuries.

When healthy, Nate Allen is one of the many talented players in the Eagles secondary.
Allen has battled injuries during his playing career, from a knee injury to a concussion, Allen has struggled to stay on the field for an entire season. But the 6-1 210-pound safety continues to make big plays when he gets onto the field.

This season, he has played a solid role at safety despite the big names in the Eagles secondary. He has 54 tackles including 1 interceptions and has defended 5 passes so far, showing his skill level to handle any wide receiver and his ability to help the corners of the Eagles (all are talented in case you didn't know who they were).

Nate Allen continues a growing legacy of USF Bulls from the defensive side of the ball in the pros. As long as he stays healthy, he can help anchor the secondary for the Eagles and hopefully help the team make it to the playoffs and on to a Super Bowl in the near future (we won't call them the Dream Team anymore)
