Allen was picked by the Chiefs in 2004 in the 4th round of the NFL Draft out of Idaho State, where he started 33 out of a total of 41 games during his undergraduate career and was named All-Big Sky three times. He was named winner of the Buck Buchanan Award in 2003, which is given each year to the best defensive player in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision.
