Eagles wide receiver Devon Allen runs third-fastest 110m hurdles in history

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Devon Allen posted the third-fastest 110m hurdles time in history on Sunday, winning in 12.84 seconds at the New York City Grand Prix.

Allen, who recently signed with the Eagles after a successful track career, easily defeated Olympic silver medalist Grant Holloway, who finished in 13.06 seconds.

The 27-year-old Allen missed the world record by 0.04 seconds. The mark of 12.80 was set by American Aries Merritt in 2012.

Allen, a two-time Olympian, said he is confident he can beat Merritt’s time.
