JACKSONVILLE – He believes he belongs, and he plays like it.
LeQuint Allen Jr. said he knows no other way. Confidence comes naturally to the rookie running back, and it’s defining his month as Jaguars 2025 Training Camp continues at the Miller Electric Center.
Draft status matters little to Allen. Performance matters a lot.
“That’s definitely my approach,” Allen said.
Allen, a seventh-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, has impressed coaches since arriving with the Jaguars shortly after the draft – and he has continued that with a strong ’25 camp.
“I feel like when I put the pads on, I’m just as good as anybody,” Allen said. “I don’t care what round it is. I’m ready to compete with anybody – any hour, any minute of the day – and help my team win in any way possible, any phase possible out of all the phases of football.”
Allen has shown significant versatility in pretty much every phase possible for an NFL running back – as a pass blocker, runner, receiver and special teams player.
He was among college football’s leading receivers in his final season at Syracuse University in 2024, and has been perhaps the strongest pass-blocker this camp at a deep Jaguars running back position.
