NFL hopeful Devon Allen posted the third-fastest men's 110-meter hurdles time ever on Sunday, winning in 12.84 seconds at the USATF NYC Grand Prix in New York.

Allen, who recently signed a $705,000 non-guaranteed deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, easily defeated Olympic silver medalist Grant Holloway by 0.22 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, while Holloway narrowly missed matching it when he ran 12.81 on June 26, 2021.

Allen, a two-time Olympian, was gunning for the mark from the outset.

'I thought I could break the record today,' Allen said, according to NBC Sports Philadelphia. 'Clean up a few things, and four hundredths of a second is four thousandths of a second per hurdle, which is so small. Going to have to wait for another race.'

Allen plans to compete in track through July before turning his attention to football. The Eagles signed him after he turned in an unofficial 4.35 seconds in the 40-yard dash at Oregon's pro day earlier this year.
