Summary

New Colts linebacker, CJ Allen, joins Jake Query on today’s show to explain how nerve wracking the combine process was like, why he feels comfortable coming into the NFL with the expectation of calling out the plays, who was the mastermind behind his huge draft party that went viral on social media, comments on deciding to enter the NFL versus going back to Georgia for his final year of eligibility, and really hopes to open a non-for-profit or start his own foundation eventually in Indianapolis.
