Jared Scot Allen (born April 3, 1982) is a former professional American football defensive end. After playing college football for Idaho State University for four years, he was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL) in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft.
After four years with the Chiefs, he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for three draft picks, including a first-rounder. He spent six years with the Vikings before joining the Chicago Bears as a free agent in 2014. During the 2015 season, he was traded to the Carolina Panthers, with which he made his first career Super Bowl. A five-time Pro Bowl and four-time All-Pro selection, Allen tallied 136 quarterback sacks during his 12-year career.
Allen was born in Dallas, Texas, and raised on a horse ranch in Morgan Hill, California.
Allen first attended Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, but transferred to Los Gatos High School in Los Gatos for his senior year after he was accused of stealing yearbooks. By then, Allen had lost many of his athletic scholarship offers, including from the University of Washington, where he had already verbally committed. As a senior at Los Gatos, he was named First-Team All-League and Defensive Player of the Year. He was also a First-Team All-Central Coast Section selection, and a member of "Who's Who" in Sports Illustrated. Allen was selected by the North squad for the North vs. South San Jose Charlie Wedemeyer All-Star football game, after a senior season where he racked up 96 tackles, 12 sacks, five forced fumbles, and five fumble recoveries.
