- NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah has the Denver Broncos selecting Georgia linebacker C.J. Allen with the 30th overall pick in his latest 2026 NFL mock draft.
- Allen is viewed as one of the top off-the-ball linebackers in this draft class, known for his steady, reliable play and ability to handle the "green dot" as the leader of the defense.
- The Broncos have a need at linebacker with several veterans potentially leaving in free agency, and Allen's leadership and three-down ability would make him a strong fit for their defense.
