Jets Reportedly Sign 7th-Round Pick Antonio Allen To 4-Year Deal
NEW YORK (WFAN) - The New York Jets have signed seventh-round draft pick Antonio Allen, according to The New York Post.
Allen, a strong safety out of the University of South Carolina, inked a four-year deal that includes a $45,896 signing bonus, the paper reported.
The six-foot-two, 202-pounder starred for the Gamecocks from 2008-2011, recording 198 tackles, 3.5 sacks, four interceptions and two touchdowns over his college career. He played linebacker in his freshman and sophomore seasons before moving to safety.
