About Eric Allen
Eric Allen was one of those shutdown corners who could completely take away half the field during his time with the Eagles. The guy had incredible ball skills and wasn't afraid to jump routes, which made him a nightmare for quarterbacks trying to work his side of the field. Collectors love him because he represents that tough, hard-hitting Eagles defense from the late 80s and early 90s that fans still talk about today. Since he doesn't have true rookie cards, his early second-year issues tend to carry a premium, and any autographed versions are definitely worth holding onto.
Dad’s Take on Eric Allen
Look at this guy posing like he's about to ask for my daughter's hand in marriage instead of covering a receiver! That helmet's so shiny I can see my reflection judging his form from here. Sure, he made it to the Hall of Fame, but with that stiff running stance he looks like he'd get burned by a soccer mom chasing down the ice cream truck!
