Nate Allen was picked with the 37th overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, which was acquired by Philadelphia in the trade that sent Donovan McNabb to the Redskins. "I want them to feel like they got their worth out of picking me, but otherwise, not really," Allen said of any added pressure. "I don't play quarterback, so it's not like I'm competing with him." "He's a true professional at a young age," said defensive coordinator Sean McDermott. Said Allen, "It's a compliment to the veteran guys that helped me out and to the coaching staff for taking time with me."
