Jared Allen was one of the most dominant defensive ends of his era, known for his relentless motor, elite pass-rushing skills, and signature rodeo celebration. Drafted in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, he quickly established himself as a defensive force.
After four seasons in Kansas City, he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, where he had his most productive years. Allen later played for the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers before retiring in 2016.
A five-time Pro Bowler and four-time First-Team All-Pro, Allen led the NFL in sacks twice and recorded 136 career sacks, ranking among the best pass rushers in league history. In 2011, he nearly broke the single-season sack record with 22 sacks.
Known for his intensity and leadership, Allen was inducted into the Minnesota Vikings Ring of Honor and is remembered as one of the great defensive players of his generation.
