It's called the "Josh Allen" effect. Allar is 6'5" 235 lbs - same as Allen with a cannon arm & excellent mobility/athleticism.
I saw him play some last season but none this year. He was bad in last year's Ohio St game but played much better in the Big 10 title game vs Oregon.
Josh Allen wasn't very good at Wyoming (Wyoming plays in the MWC - a 2nd Tier conference). Allen threw a lot of picks & had major accuracy issues. Because of his size, cannon arm & athleticism, he couldn't be overlooked & was drafted #7 OA. He was considered a "boom or bust" prospect.
How far Allar falls in the draft is anyone's guess. A lot will depend on the surgery & recovery process. It's a dislocated/fractured ankle. You can see the injury here where the tackler rolled on his lower leg which looks like it was bent in an awkward position:
