Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Devon Allen participated in the USATF NYC Grand Prix over the weekend and ran his fastest time in the 110-meter hurdles. His 13.04 time also happens to be tied for the fourth-fastest in the entire world in 2023.
The 28-year-old signed with the Eagles in April last year and spent all of last season on the team’s practice squad. His jump into the NFL was a bit surprising given the fact that he had last played football back in 2016 during his final season with the Oregon Ducks.
