Jets draft pick Braelon Allen appears to buy his mother new car: ‘Get mama right’

Braelon Allen made sure to take care of his biggest fan after being drafted by the Jets over the weekend. 

His mama. 

The Jets fourth-round pick posted a video on Instagram of his mother, Kim Rowe, looking at her new ride that he bought her.

The heartwarming video is captioned “had to get mama right” followed by a heart emoji. 

Rowe could be seen looking at the GMC Denali her now pro football-playing son had just purchased her, with tears starting to flow down her face at one point during the video. 

In a post on X, he quote tweeted the video and put three heart emojis.

Allen, a running back out of the University of Wisconsin, is joining a backfield led by Breece Hall and 2023 fifth-round pick Israel Abanikanda. 

The former Badger was a three-year starter in college and had 20 career games where he rushed for at least 100 yards. 

Allen was drafted after the Jets traded down three times during the fourth round, which took place as part of the final day of the NFL draft.

At 20 years old, Allen became the youngest player in the NFL and the first player born in 2004 to be drafted. 

Allen has quickly embraced his new home in several posts on X since he was picked by the Jets. 

On Sunday he posted a photoshopped mock-up of him in Jets Jersey. 

“JET THE F*** UP,” he wrote along with an emoji of the Statue of Liberty and a plane. 

In another post, he suggested that he would convince Aaron Rodgers to play another 10 seasons.
