Former Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Jared Allen's enshrinement into the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame | @EdEastonJr

A third-round draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2004, Allen wasted no time establishing himself as a Pro Bowl talent, logging nine and 11 sacks in his first two seasons, respectively. Then came the true breakout: He led the NFL with 15.5 quarterback takedowns in 2007, his fourth season, earning the first of four career All-Pro nods.

Jared Allen delivered a heartfelt Hall of Fame induction speech, honoring his wife and daughters as his greatest legacy beyond football. The former NFL star got emotional reflecting on family during the ceremony.

In his fifth NFL game, a 56-10 win over Atlanta at Arrowhead Stadium, Allen dropped Michael Vick twice to record his first career multi-sack effort. Allen’s first career sack was David Carr in a 24-21 loss to the Texans on Sept. 26, 2004, at Arrowhead.

Jared Allen's Pro Football Hall of Fame speech highlighted family values and faith, telling his daughters that being a good father matters more than his gold jacket.
