Additionally, Hines-Allen will exchange jerseys for 50 fans who can not attend the event or do not live in Jacksonville.
Formerly known as Josh Allen, the sixth-year Jaguars edge rusher paid tribute to his maternal family’s athletic legacy by legally adding Hines to his last name in July.
He joins sister Myisha Hines-Allen (Washington Mystics, WNBA) and uncle Gregory Hines (Golden State Warriors, NBA) to don the nameplate professionally.
Sisters Kyra Hines-Allen (Cheyney University) and LaTorri Hines-Allen (Virginia Tech and Towson); and uncle Keith Hines (Montclair State) also played college basketball.
A 2019 first-round pick by Jacksonville, who signed a five-year, $141.3 million contract extension with the club in April, Hines-Allen has produced 251 tackles including 53 for loss, 45 sacks, nine forced fumbles, two interceptions and eight defended passes with the Jaguars.
