Allen found the endzone twice against the Tennessee Titans, once on the ground and another through the air. He finished the day with 56 total yards on only nine touches.
It's been a nice start to his NFL career for Allen, and he's already been getting praise as the best backup runner in the league. Heck, if it weren't for the talent of current starter Breece Hall, Allen could probably be one of the better starters in the NFL too.
At age 20, Braelon Allen was also the youngest ever player to score a touchdown in league history. It came on a pass from Aaron Rodgers, who at 40, is double Allen's age.
