Even with limited receiver options, Allen made magic happen on the field. He delivered a deep strike to Tyrell Shavers and launched a laser to rookie wideout Keon Coleman, connecting for a touchdown that sent the crowd into a frenzy.

We’ll see where that goes.”But if Allen’s playing status was uncertain, his emotional connection with the fans—especially the youngest ones—was crystal clear.After every practice, Allen is typically swarmed by fans hoping for a selfie or autograph. Although time limits prevent him from reaching everyone, he always tries to prioritize children. That commitment came full circle on Monday when he found himself grinning ear to ear after spotting two young, familiar faces.
