The Jacksonville Jaguars had gotten mixed production from their 2025 draft class. Plenty of that is due to injury, but whenever they've pressed the rookies into action, they've come through more often than not. Running back LeQuint Allen, in particular, has had an immediate impact.

The seventh-round pick out of Syracuse has carved a niche as a pass blocker. On top of that, he's setting the tone with his feisty play. Just recently, the Jaguars social media team offered a glimpse of just how unfazed he is when he goes against established players.

TheJaguars saw LeQuint Allen come through vs. Maxx Crosby

The Jaguars posted a clip of LeQuint Allen before and during the 30-29 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. Throughout the game, he went back and forth with All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby, who called him a pion.

Rightly, Allen took offense at it, and made sure that Crosby took notice of him. At one point in the scuffle, the Raiders pass rusher asked him who he was. Below's the clip.

And here's the full video of Allen's highlights in the Raiders game. He played a season-high 22 snaps and posted a jaw-dropping Pro Football Focus grade of 80.1. For the season, the New Jersey, Millville native has logged 122 snaps on offense and toted the rock five times for 32 yards. On top of that, he's hauled in six receptions for 35 yards.

Liam Coen knew the Jaguars had a keeper in LeQuint Allen

Liam Coen has routinely praised LeQuint Allen for his blocking chops. He was asked about the skirmish with Maxx Crosby and said that he knew the Jaguars had a keeper dating back to training camp. Here's the skinny. 5:19

"Very early on. In the building, seeing him and just the way he operated," Coen told the press cops (5:19 mark). "But once we put the pads on in training camp, he and Ventrell [Miller] had a pretty gnarly blitz in practice that you were, you know, whole you got to take a step back here, and say how we stepped up, how we met him."

Coen continued, "But it was just a great rep from both sides, honestly. And you saw Quint, his reaction after, and you're like, 'Okay, this guy's got something. Camden, New Jersey, went up to Syracuse, helped get that program turned around in a lot of ways, and so, that is infectious."

Since his gnarly exchange with Ventrell Miller, LeQuint Allen has had a few more, and the Jaguars are surely thrilled about it.
