Chargers star receiver Keenan Allen is 70 yards away from reaching 10,000 yards receiving for his career, a plateau that even impresses the 11-year veteran.
He had just left Minnesota’s defense in shambles, catching 18 passes for 215 yards on a day when he also threw for a touchdown. No player in NFL history had produced such a performance, and now Keenan Allen was walking through a concrete hallway deep inside U.S. Bank Stadium to meet with the media. Along the way, a member of the Chargers’ public-relations staff was briefing Allen on all the other records he had set, a few of them stunning while others were more, well, obscure.
More functional than flashy, he was named to the Pro Bowl each year from 2017-21, a five-season stretch during which he topped 100 receptions and 1,000 yards four times. “Nothing but love for him, nothing but respect,” Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. said. “He's going to go down as one of the greats, get that gold jacket one day, for sure.” Recognized as a technician, Allen’s rare skill set is captured best by the fact he’s a receiver celebrated for his feet more than his hands.
