One Jets player is in the 'best shape of his life,' NFL analyst says
Aaron Glenn has to be happy with this New York Jets player.
According to ESPN analyst Ben Solak, one New York Jets player is in the best shape of his life. The Jets have struggled recently, finishing the previous season with a 3-14 record. Head coach Aaron Glenn faces a daunting task of improving the team quickly. However, there is some positive news in the Jets' camp. ESPN's feature on training camp awards highlights backup running back Braelon Allen as the "Best Shape of His Life."
Allen arrived at minicamp in June boasting that he was the biggest, strongest, and fastest he had ever been. He attributes his impressive physique to significant gains in lean muscle mass and a low body fat percentage. Allen's weight gain, reportedly reaching nearly 250 pounds following an injury-shortened 2025 season around 240 pounds, makes him one of the heaviest running backs in the NFL, nearing the 252-pound mark of Derrick Henry.
This development could prove valuable for the Jets as they face challenging circumstances this season.
