- Josh Allen was projected as a possible top pick in the 2018 NFL Draft heading into Thursday.
- That talk has diminished since, due in part to a series of racially insensitive tweets from Allen's high school days that resurfaced late Wednesday night.
- Allen acknowledged the tweets and apologized.
- NFL insider Adam Schefter floated a wild theory that some believe the release of the tweets was an intentional move by a team later in the draft hoping that Allen would fall to them.
Quarterback Josh Allen is projected to be one of the top picks in the 2018 NFL Draft, but a series of offensive tweets that recently surfaced could give some teams pause before selecting him with one of the top picks in the first round.
The offending tweets were published when Allen was in high school, and he has since apologized for them and deleted them from his feed.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
