He’s one of the few players to win the Heisman one year and Rookie of the Year the next year. Allen also led the NFL in rushing touchdowns as a rookie and did so again over a decade later. In between, he won MVP, Super Bowl MVP, and went to six Pro Bowls on his way to over 12,000 yards rushing and a spot in the Hall of Fame.
