Egypt Tyrone Allen (born July 28, 1964) is a former American football safety who played one season for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL).
Allen grew up in Dallas, Texas and graduated from South Oak Cliff High School, where he starred as a defensive back on their football team.
[2] Allen and two other players sued the University in 1985, indicating that they had thought the payments were sanctioned by the University since one of the involved alumni, Richard Lowe, was a member of the TCU Board of Trustees, as well as a former TCU football player.
Allen was signed in the middle of the 1987 season by the Chicago Bears as a replacement player.
While most replacement players were released after the 1987 NFL strike ended, Allen stayed.
