Jared Allen made a memorable appearance in Canton recently.
The retired NFL player was officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame over the weekend.
Allen joined a prestigious class that included other football legends like Sterling Sharpe, Eric Allen, and Antonio Gates.

After receiving his gold jacket, Allen attempted to recreate his signature sack celebration from his playing days.
However, his formal suit pants were not as forgiving as his football uniform.
As he stood up, he realized that there was a noticeable rip in the back of his pants, running from his rear down to his knee.
During his 12-year career, Allen played for four different teams, most notably the Minnesota Vikings, where he achieved four All-Pro selections, five Pro Bowl appearances, and 136 sacks.

Allen led the NFL in sacks twice (2007 and 2011) and also holds records for most safeties in a career (four) and a season (two).

He retired in 2015 after playing for the Chiefs, Vikings, Bears, and Panthers. His final season ended with a Super Bowl loss to the Denver Broncos, which was also Peyton Manning’s last game.
