Nate the Skate: "I don't suck, and I'll prove it..."
Nate Allen has the measurables--- people tend to forget he has a low '40 time of 4.40 and a high '40 time of 4.59... that's pretty impressive speed for a safety.
I guess the biggest complaint in the past about Allen was he didn't know exactly where that speed should be on the football field at the most opportune time in a game.
