A reporter asked Allen what Brady meant to him during a news conference Wednesday.
“Nothing. He hasn’t done anything for us, teams should stay away from him,” Allen said with a smile on his face.

He is one of the most positive guys in the building, he always has energy and enthusiasm for the guys. “I think that’s something we love and appreciate about him, and it’s as real as it gets,” Allen said.
