The college football world is buzzing with excitement after a viral video of Wisconsin Badgers running back Braelon Allen squatting an impressive 600 pounds has drawn comparisons to some of the NFL’s top running backs.
The jaw-dropping video, which surfaced on social media, showcases Allen’s exceptional power, strength, and fitness.
Many have taken notice of his remarkable performance in the gym, with some even suggesting that he might be on par with NFL stars in terms of athleticism and potential.
Braelon Allen was built in a LAB 😳
Allen has been built like an NFL RB since he was 17 years old.
This is Allen squatting 600-plus pounds, which is what Nick Chubb does in the NFL.
And cleaning 405 pounds, which is what Saquon Barkley did in college.

Standing at an impressive 6-foot-2 and weighing 240 pounds, Allen’s physique and skills have drawn similarities to NFL standout Derrick Henry, who measures in at 6-foot-3 and 247 pounds.
However, with plenty of time left before the Badgers season opener against the Buffalo Bulls on September 2, Allen has the potential to add even more muscle to his already formidable frame.
Allen’s past performance on the field has been equally impressive. In 2021, he racked up an impressive 1,268 rushing yards and scored 12 touchdowns – while last year he recorded 1,242 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns, and contributed 13 receptions for 104 yards.
His consistent excellence and undeniable talent have made him one of the most highly-touted running back prospects heading into next year’s NFL Draft. If Allen can replicate his previous season’s achievements, it could solidify his position as a top-round pick in the upcoming draft.
Excitement is building for Wisconsin fans and football enthusiasts alike, eagerly anticipating Allen’s performance in the upcoming season.
With his incredible dedication, work ethic, and natural ability, the young running back has the potential to leave a lasting impact and truly join the long-line of great Badger running backs.Â
