Brandon Allen

Brandon Allen is an American football quarterback born September 5, 1992, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He played at Fayetteville High School before joining the University of Arkansas, where he developed into a longtime Razorbacks starter and earned a degree in recreation and sport management in 2014. Allen is listed at 6-foot-2 and 219 pounds by the New York Giants. His college background included a pro-style offense, and he entered the NFL as a sixth-round selection of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2016 draft.

Allen’s NFL career has included time with Jacksonville, the Los Angeles Rams, Denver, Cincinnati, San Francisco and Tennessee. He made his NFL starting debut for Denver on November 3, 2019, and the Giants signed him on April 13, 2026. However, the Giants’ September 6, 2026 roster announcement listed Allen among the vested veterans whose contracts were terminated during the club’s reduction to its initial 53-man roster. Accordingly, his dated Giants affiliation should not be treated as confirmation of a current team as of September 15, 2026. Allen’s profile is that of an experienced quarterback with extensive exposure to pro-style concepts and multiple NFL systems.
