Allen began his NFL career in 2018 with the Carolina Panthers. Allen was given an opportunity to be the Panthers quarterback for the bulk of the 2019 season when Quarterback Cam Newton suffered a season-ending foot injury early in the season. He had 17 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in 2019.
After spending the first two years of his career with Carolina, he spent two seasons for the Washington Commanders before spending one year with the Houston Texans. He signed a one-year $1.23 million contract with the Buffalo Bills during the 2023 NFL Offseason.
Allen has 26 touchdowns and 21 interceptions over his NFL career.
What Will Kyle Allen Bring To The Pittsburgh Steelers In 2024
The Pittsburgh Steelers made the NFL Playoffs last season with a record of 10-7. They did so with one of the worst quarterbacking situations in the National Football League. The team signed Wilson and traded for Fields this NFL Offseason.
Pittsburgh averaged under 190 passing yards per game last season and averaged the fifth-fewest points per game (17.9) last year.
Allen will provide a veteran presence for the Steelers this season as they look to improve one of the league’s worst offenses and finish .500 or above for the 18th consecutive season.
