NFL Draft: Rams select former Clemson tight end Davis Allen in 5th round
Davis Allen has found his NFL home as the Los Angeles Rams selected him with the 41st pick in the 5th round. The 6-foot-6 tight end has the potential to develop into a strong NFL pass catcher, as he showed during his time at Clemson.
Playing all four seasons for the Tigers, Allen hauled in 12 touchdowns during his time at Clemson. His 12 touchdowns tied Dwayne Allen and two others for second-most by a Clemson tight end ever.

At 245 pounds, he'll have to beef up a little bit in the NFL, but he's shown his ability to be versatile, playing special teams all four years in college. A 38.5" vertical and 10.5' broad jump showcased his explosiveness.
