Rookie running back Kaytron Allen, drafted by the Washington Commanders in the sixth round, looks to earn playing time this summer. He adds size to a position group that includes Jeremy McNichols and Jacory Croskey-Merritt. While Allen is noted for his power running style, he will face competition from veteran arrivals Jerome Ford and Rachaad White.
