Jared Allen

Allen is on the list as the top NFL player to wear No. 69.

Allen’s sack prowess first showed with the Chiefs, but when he came over to the Vikings via trade, he became one of the best pass-rushing defensive ends in Minnesota history.

He had 14.5 sacks for the Vikings in two consecutive years. One time in 2011, he had 22 sacks. Allen’s celebrations and play style made him an exciting player to watch.
