Allen played college football at Troy State and signed as an undrafted free agent with the Atlanta Falcons in 2001.
Allen played football, basketball, and baseball for Calvary Christian Academy.
[1] He is infamously known for attempting a pass to Rich Seubert after a botched snap from Trey Junkin on a field goal attempt to win the game on the last play of the Giants-49ers NFC Wildcard game on January 5, 2003.
However, as it was not 4th down and the team had a timeout left, Allen also could have earned another field goal attempt if he had taken a knee and then used the time out.
