In the second year of the Chargers’ existence, Washington Linebacker, Chuck Allen was a very late Draft Pick (28thRound), so for him just to make the team was a bit of a long shot. Allen would accomplish a lot more than that.
Allen would become one of the better interior linemen of the AFL with a pair of AFL All-Stars coming in 1963 and 1964. Allen secured 20 Interceptions as a Charger with an AFL Championship Ring in 1963.
He played for San Diego until 1969, where he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers after the 1969 Season.
