Third-round WR Keenan Allen (knee) was a full participant as the Chargers opened rookie minicamp Friday.
Allen tore his left PCL last October and was extraordinarily slow to recover. He was only 90 percent as of late April, which likely contributed to Allen's draft-day slide. Apparently, he's healthy know. We'll form a stronger opinion about Allen's rookie-year fantasy outlook once we see him in preseason action. May 10 - 3:07 PM

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Chargers agreed to terms with No. 76 overall pick WR Keenan Allen on a four-year contract.

Allen could turn out to be a steal as a third-rounder. He's currently recovering from a torn PCL, which he says is at 90 percent, and a banged up ankle. Allen will be all systems go for camp, and he should immediately contend for snaps with Malcom Floyd and Vincent Brown opposite Danario Alexander.

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Keenan Allen said his left knee is at 90 percent.

Allen tore his PCL way back in October. He also ripped up his ankle playing basketball a year ago and had surgery. It all played a part in his 4.71 forty and slide to the back of the third round. Allen expects to be 100 percent at training camp, where he'll battle Malcom Floyd and Vincent Brown opposite Danario Alexander.

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Chargers selected WR Keenan Allen with the No. 76 overall pick.

Allen (6-foot-2, 206) set Cal's all-time mark for receptions (205) despite entering the draft after his true junior season and missing the final three games with a torn left PCL. Allen held a personal Pro Day on April 9, running a terribly disappointing 4.71 forty. Allen is more of a short-to-intermediate receiver, but runs precise routes, has big (10") soft hands, and creates yardage exceptionally well after the catch. Drawing comparisons to Miles Austin, he's a classic "Z" receiver who can work the slot. Health is the biggest concern because Allen still wasn't 100 percent over five months removed from his knee injury. He'll compete for snaps as the fourth receiver in San Diego.

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Cal WR Keenan Allen had his right ankle re-checked two weeks ago.

ESPN is backing off its original report that Allen underwent a second drug test. It appears that although he reportedly had "suspiciously high levels of water in his system," he was not asked back to Indy for that reason. Still, Allen will take knee, ankle and off-field concerns into next week's draft -- where he could very well slip into the second round.

Cal WR Keenan Allen's player rep strongly denies he was "red-flagged" for a drug test at the Combine.

"We have received no notifications. None," Allen's told Profootballtalk Tuesday afternoon. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the red flag arose after Allen's Combine sample contained suspiciously high water content, suggesting he was attempting to beat the test. It's a concern for Allen's draft stock, but not as much as his dead-legged 40 times (4.71 and 4.75).

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Cal WR Keenan Allen was red-flagged for a drug test at February's Combine.

Allen's rocky run-up to the draft continues. Concerns about a slow recovery stemming from an October knee injury coupled with forty times of 4.71 and 4.75 have his first-round status on shaky ground. Allen took another drug test this month, the results of which are unknown. For what it's worth, his agent is denying that Allen ever failed a drug test -- he says his client was retested for ankle and knee injuries.

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Cal WR Keenan Allen ran forty times of 4.71 and 4.75 at his personal Pro Day on Tuesday.

Allen has never been known as a true vertical threat -- he draws comparisons to Miles Austin and Reggie Wayne -- but these times are concerning. Allen suffered a torn left PCL last October 27. He admitted to a setback before February's Scouting Combine and recently told the Sacramento Bee that he's only about 85 percent. It's been over five months since Allen's injury. His medical status may be a greater concern than the slow forty times.

Cal WR Keenan Allen (knee) will meet with Dr. James Andrews on Monday, but is still scheduled to hold his Pro Day on April 9.

This is Allen's post-Combine followup exam as he seeks clearance for the Pro Day workout. Allen's recovery from a torn left PCL has been unusually lengthy.

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Cal WR Keenan Allen (knee) will hold his Pro Day on April 9 after not working out at the Combine.

Allen is in the final stages of his (long) recovery from a torn left PCL. Allen checked in at 6-foot-2, 206 pounds in Indy. A strong time in the 40-yard dash would solidify his status as a likely first-round pick.

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Appearing on NFL Live Friday, ex-Colts president Bill Polian compared Cal WR Keenan Allen to Reggie Wayne.

Polian knows Wayne pretty well. "When I see Keenan Allen," said Polian, "I see Reggie Wayne." Like Wayne, Allen is considered a quality route runner who sharply gets in and out of his breaks. He's projected as a late first-round pick.

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Cal WR Keenan Allen checked in 6-foot-2 and 206 pounds at Friday's NFL Scouting Combine weigh-in.

He's an inch shorter and ten pounds lighter than his college listing. Allen will not work out in Indianapolis because he's rehabbing a PCL tear in his left knee. More of a possession/run-after-catch receiver than vertical threat, Allen is hopeful of running a forty-yard dash sometime in early April.

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

Cal WR Keenan Allen will not participate in this week's NFL Scouting Combine due to a lingering left knee injury.

Allen suffered a Grade 2 PCL tear in late October and missed the final three games of his college career. His recovery is going on four months now, which is concerning. Allen experienced swelling in pre-Combine training, and will have a March 11 followup exam with Dr. James Andrews. He'll only run routes at Cal's Pro Day, but has tentatively scheduled a personal workout for the first week of April to run the forty-yard dash. Allen's forty time is crucial because NFL evaluators have questions about his long speed.

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

NFL Network's Mike Mayock suggested that Cal WR Keenan Allen's draft position will greatly hinge on his forty time at the Combine.

Tape typically trumps measurables, but Allen didn't run many vertical routes in Cal's offense and NFL teams want to see if he can stretch the field. "With Keenan Allen, it’s one word: speed," Mayock said. "That’s the only question scouts have on him. It’s hard to (evaluate) him with the way they throw the football. So what is it? If he’s a 4.4 guy, bang the table, he’s a top-25 pick. If he runs 4.55, 4.58, there’s going to be a lot of questions about him."

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers

According to NFL Draft insider Tony Pauline, Cal WR Keenan Allen has "not looked anything special" in pre-Combine workouts and "failed to separate himself" from the receivers he's training with.

Allen has reportedly not showed the "wow" factor typically associated with a high draft pick, according to Pauline's sources. Allen, listed at 6-foot-3, 210, is coming off a knee injury that cut his junior season three games short. As a sophomore in 2011, Allen racked up 98 receptions, 1,343 yards, and six TDs.
