Selected in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Penn State, Allen has spent his entire three-year career with Pittsburgh.

He had been thrust into the starting lineup the last two weeks with a slew of injuries in the linebacking core. Allen recorded 14 total tackles and a tackle-for-loss in the two starts.
