After wrapping up Pro Day, the former BYU running back is projected as a mid-round draft pick.
Tyler AllgeierOf course, the play everyone is referencing is the one when Allgeier chased down an Arizona State defender 15 yards in front of him last year. He jumped in the air off one foot and clawed the ball out with a tomahawk punch. It was the type of effort that would have made even Pat Tillman blush. So much so that Allgeier became an instant celebrity, with Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors leading his fan club.
For all the plays Allgeier made in his record-setting career at BYU, it’s that last part that sticks with everyone the most. He hasn’t changed much as a person. Not as he went from a walk-on to the face of BYU’s program. Not as he rushed for 23 touchdowns and became an NFL prospect.
If there was anyone that could have changed as a person in their career, it is Allgeier. He started as a preferred walk-on, working as a cart-pusher at Walmart just to pay for school. Eventually, he moved to running back and played sparingly, gaining 119 yards in a single season. It wasn’t until last season, when he rushed for 1,601 yards and a program-record 23 touchdowns, when he truly emerged as an NFL-caliber talent. Going into the season, BYU coach Kalani Sitake wasn’t even sure he would start.
