Christopher Allen Bio
Christopher Allen is an American football linebacker from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who played college football at Alabama. Listed at 6 feet 4 inches and 242 pounds, he played primarily as an outside linebacker and edge defender. Alabama identified him as a highly regarded Louisiana recruit, and he later earned second-team All-SEC recognition from league coaches after the 2020 season.
Allen’s Alabama career was interrupted by injuries, including a knee injury that caused him to miss the 2018 season and a foot injury suffered in the 2021 season opener against Miami. NFL scouting materials described him as a physical defender with the strength to hold the point of attack, shed single blocks and contribute from the edge, while noting that continued development in play recognition and pass-rush technique was important.
Allen entered the NFL as an undrafted college free agent with the Denver Broncos on May 13, 2022. Denver placed him on injured reserve on August 10, 2022, and its team biography stated that he spent that season on injured reserve. The available current NFL roster information does not establish a current NFL team affiliation for Christopher Allen as of September 17, 2026, so this biography describes Denver as a dated past affiliation rather than a current team.
