Montclair High School graduate Josh Allen has been in the spotlight this week as the No. 7 overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday, chosen by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Allen, who starred at the linebacker position for University of Kentucky after being an All-State player at Montclair High in 2014, is also highlighted in a new ad campaign for Hyundai called "Rolling With The Rookies."

Allen shares in a six-minute video, shot in his hometown, how he overcame a childhood stutter that led to being placed in special education classes in elementary school, and how he pushed himself to become a star athlete and diligent student.

"I don't want to be normal. Normal is boring," he says in the video, which also features family, friends, and his high school coach. "Different is fun."

There are scenes in his backyard, at the high school, in a local park, and along a commercial strip in Montclair, which he calls the "best city in Jersey."
