During the Kevin Sumlin era at Texas A & MThe recruitment of elite quarters was a regular event. While Kellen Mond was by far the most coherent signal calling, it is quite crazy to think that the future selection n ° 1 of the NFL draft, Kyler Murray, and the old five -star Kyle Allen were on the same list for a season.
While Murray was the Arizona cardinals“ The quarter-back leaving since the 2019 season, the interesting career of the NFL of Allen began as a free agent not drafted in 2018 with the Carolina PanthersAnd he stayed in the league as a reliable backup since.
Allen’s career in Texas A & M took a sharp turn after a shoulder injury hampered his game during the 2015 season, which finally led to his transfer to Houston for two seasons before entering the NFL draft. During his career in Texas A&M, Allen appeared in 21 games, finishing 278 of the 475 passes for 3,532 yards, 33 affected and 14 interceptions.
Although Allen’s career at College Station included several memorable performances, he has never lived up to his immense potential, which is generally the case for high-ranking prospects at the quarter-arre post.

During his seven seasons in the league, Allen appeared in 31 games, including 19 departures. His most productive season occurred in 2019, after the injuries led to Allen to start 12 games. He launched for 3,322 yards, 17 affected and 16 interceptions.
