Ricardo Allen Retires After Seven Seasons
3 years agoCincinnati Bengals safety Ricardo Allen has decided to call it a career after seven seasons in the NFL. Allen was drafted in the fifth round by the Atlanta Falcons in 2014. He recorded 69 tackles, five passes defended, and three interceptions during his rookie campaign. He followed that up with a 90-tackle season in 2016. His career appeared to be headed in the right direction, but Allen never quite lived up to the hype of his first two seasons in the league. Allen played a minimal role on the Bengals in 2021 and has decided to step away from the game. He'll finish out his career with 355 tackles, 26 passes defended, and 11 interceptions in 91 games. At least the 30-year-old wrapped up his career on top with the Super Bowl champions.
