Track and field and NFL don’t always go hand in hand. In fact, even the legendary sprinter Usain Bolt only ever picked up his passion for soccer after retiring from the tracks. However, there is one exceptional 28-year-old athlete who makes the shift from the football field to the tracks without breaking a sweat.
Devon Allen has been a fixture in the track and field world since he was 11 years old. He made a name for himself in the sport by breaking the 110m hurdling state in his early teens. His NFL dream finally came true in 2022 when he came under the radar of a few scouts at a school game. The legendary athlete has now gone ahead and added another commitment to his already-packed schedule. Despite it being lovelier than all his other roles, one still is forced to think, how he manages to do it?
