After Rio, Allen intends on going back to football. A former NFL scout, Daniel Jeremiah, told NFL.com, "This will be a big year for him to show he can add some polish to his game. But you can see on tape how easily he can just run by people. I think he just needs more reps.” Devon hasn't said much about what sport he thinks he'll choose down the line. All-American Jordan Kent, who also pursued football and track at the same time, thinks he may not have to choose. The multi-sport athlete told Sports Illustrated, "It’s funny to me that people think Devon can only do one, track or football, long-term. There’s no guarantee that if he stopped playing football, he’d be a better hurdler, or if he stopped hurdling, he’d be a better football player. All we know for sure is that right now, doing both is working out well for him.” (Instagram/devonallen13)
