Best Tickets History
Dante Hall gave them all a taste of glory. David Allen says, why not me? “We both went to Europe. We\'ve got a lot in common. Our paths have gone similar ways,” Allen says in comparing himself to the Chiefs\' star kick and punt-returner.Yeah, they do have a lot in common. Hall was NFL Europe\'s leading return man in 2001, which catapulted Hall\'s NFL career. Allen starred in NFL Europe in 2003, and that led to his emergence as one of the NFL\'s top return men last fall, when Allen had six punt returns of 20 yards or longer. Hall led the league with nine.“He doesn\'t have Hall\'s speed. That\'s the difference,” Jaguars special teams coach Pete Rodriguez said of Allen. “David has great quickness, he just doesn\'t have that 4.4 speed.” |

But Allen has “4.4” dreams. He dreams of returning to the touchdown ways of his college career at Kansas State, where Allen was a record-setting return man who returned seven punts for touchdowns. He was Hall before Hall was Hall. “Everybody needs a great return guy. If you have a guy who\'s a threat every time he touches the ball, that makes your team that much better,” Allen said. His is a dicey profession. They come and they go, and a lot of times they aren\'t even given a chance to emerge. Allen is the perfect example. It wasn\'t until Jermaine Lewis suffered a season-ending knee injury in the second game of the season that Allen was re-signed by the Jaguars after having been released in final cuts.
