Los Angeles Chargers wideout Kennan Allen has snapped. He's not pleased with the NFL's Top 100 list and claimed that he's obviously better than fellow wide receivers Tyreek Hill, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin.
Via Twitter, Allen vented out his frustrations. He replied to a video posted by the Chargers which placed emphasis on his route running. Apart from video break downs of his playstyle, it also included several testimonials from other players. All of them were those in awe of Allen's abilities.
Ok I’m tired of biten my tongue…@cheetah @MikeEvans13_ @chrisgoodwin… ( and the list goes on) ARE NOT a better reciever than me! Faster than me…every day of the week but separation..CHILD PLEASE! https://t.co/rBQwJZWkE3

Allen, a three-time Pro Bowl, ranked 77 in NFL's Top 100 players for 2020. He finished last year with 104 catches for 1,199 yards and six touchdowns. Kansas City Chief's Hill, meanwhile, just logged in 860 receiving yards. Tampa Bay Buccaneers' wideouts Godwin and Evans logged in 1,333 and 1,157 receiving yards, respectively.
Keenan Allen sounds like he's raring to show that the numbers don't completely reveal how good of a player he is. As seen in the video, opposing players are nothing but impressed with his route running. As such, team defenses need to place Allen at the top of their priority list. They have to remain honest and on their toes every time Allen is on the field.
Several fans replied, rebutting Allen's claims. They defended Hill's low output, noting that the Chiefs have many other options other than him which may be the reason for his low output. However, another fan stepped up to defend Allen. For the fan, Allen is a complete receiver who demands the attention of any defense.
Just proves Hill is more of a specialist and less of a complete receiver. Keenan has the majority of the defenses attention and still produces when asked to do more. Hill more specializes in deep stuff while the defense has a 100 other things to worry about

Whatever the case may be, Keenan Allen is definitely going to use this as motivation to lay claim as one of the better WRs in the league.
