He appeared in a short interview with former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason. Here’s what Allen said about Kobe Bryant’s documentary, Muse, and how it helps him work on his own game.

“On my away trips I watch the ‘Muse’ documentary that he did. Just the constant aggression that he had. In the fourth quarter when he got that look and the under-bite going, you knew that he was locked in and he was going to do everything he could to win a game.

“That mindset … I feel I have, I’m willing to sacrifice my body for the betterment of our team. That will never change about me,” Allen told Boomer Esiason via CBSSports.
