Former Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen went through positional drills at the NFL combine Saturday afternoon.

The former Badger did not run the 40-yard dash, opting to instead do so at Wisconsin’s pro day later this month.

Allen enters the draft after a three-year career at Wisconsin. He finishes college having recorded 3,494 yards and 35 touchdowns on 597 carries, also adding 49 receptions and 275 receiving yards.

He’s a physically imposing running back, as Badgers fans know. The NFL draft world recently went crazy over pictures of him when he was 17 years old and entering college.

Some on X did the same during Allen’s positional drills Saturday afternoon. Here is how social media reacted throughout the day:

He's much bigger than the other running backs

Another angle:

He can move fast for someone his size

Packers fans are interested

He wants to challenge Saquon Barkley to a lifting competition

From Allen himself:

No 40 time, but he's quick:

Allen can also receive well

Derrick Henry comparisons

Bears fans are interested

Some still want to see his 40 time

One party is not impressed by the testing scores

A.J. Dillon 2.0?

Blake Corum isn't a small running back
