Kaytron Allen was the 6th pick of the 6th round in the<\/span> 2026 NFL Draft<\/span><\/a>, where the Washington Commanders<\/a> selected him as the 9th RB off the board. What is Kaytron Allen\u2019s dynasty outlook as he joins a very crowded but wide-open backfield in Washington?<\/span><\/p>\n

College Production<\/b><\/h3>\n

Allen spent four seasons at Penn State<\/a> and played a significant role in each of them. He had between 167 and 220 carries in all four seasons. He rushed for over 1100 rushing yards in each of his final two seasons. Allen was in a committee with Nicholas Singleton, and he took over the starting job in their senior year, rushing for 15 touchdowns<\/a>. He has some value in the passing game, catching between 14 and 20 receptions in all four seasons. Even though he was the better running back for the Nittany Lions in 2025, Singleton was taken just a few picks ahead of him at the end of the 5th round.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaytron Allen was 1 of 2 RB\u2019s in the entire 2026 Class to record:<\/p>\n

– 1,300+ Rushing Yards
– 15+ Rushing TD\u2019s
– 6.0+ YPC<\/p>\n

The only other RB to accomplish this?<\/p>\n

I would argue that Kaytron Allen also has such a clear path to becoming the Washington Commanders RB1 pic.twitter.com\/f1sSoVh83J<\/a><\/p>\n
