A 14-year career. 217 regular-season games played. 54 interceptions for 826 yards.
An enshrinement decades in the making.
Now, Eric Allen has entered football immortality as he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
He was presented by his eldest son, Austin, who helped unveil his bronze bust.
After being traded to the Raiders in 1998, Allen helped the franchise win the AFC West in back-to-back seasons. Over four seasons with the Silver and Black, he appeared in 58 games with 56 starts in the Silver and Black and picked off 15 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns. His three interceptions returned for touchdowns in 2000 led the league and is tied for the franchise record.
"In 1998, the Hall of Famer, iconic man Al Davis and Jon Gruden convinced me that joining the Oakland Raiders would be the perfect culmination of my career," Allen said during his Hall of Fame speech. "They were absolutely correct."
Originally drafted by the Eagles in 1988, Allen became a six-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro and accumulated 54 interceptions over the course of his 14-year NFL career. His eight career interceptions returned for touchdowns were tied for third most in league history upon his retirement.
Allen is the only player in NFL history with two seasons of at least three interception returns for touchdowns. His single-season league record for most interceptions returned for touchdowns (four in 1993) stood for 30 years.
