Allen is a bit of a journeyman quarterback, playing for six different franchises ( Jacksonville Jaguars , Los Angeles Rams , Denver Broncos , Cincinnati Bengals , San Francisco 49ers , Tennessee Titans ) over the course of his career.

Allen has made 19 appearances and 10 starts over the course of his NFL career, and is just 2-8 as a starter. He has passed for 1,882 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions in the league.
