3. Tight End Dwayne Allen: Blastoise

Blessed with tremendous strength and a low center of gravity, Dwayne Allen is one of the better young tight ends in football with his ability to both catch and block at a high level.

Blastoise has a large protective shell and like Allen while blocking in the trenches, is capable of withstanding considerable physical punishment.

The turtle-like creature also has two water cannons to dish out its own destruction, much like Allen uses his own guns, 1 and 2–the gun show (i.e. his muscular arms) to wreak havoc either catching footballs, blocking on the field, or fending off would-be tacklers.
