Before the Raiders’ Week six game against the Tennessee Titans at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Eric Allen received a significant honor. Already inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last August, Allen’s legacy was further cemented with a plaque at Allegiant Stadium. This accolade joins him with other Raiders legends, recognizing their contributions to the franchise.

The unveiling ceremony showcased Allen’s plaque alongside other Hall of Fame inductees like Cliff Branch, Richard Seymour, and Charles Woodson. Positioned between his Hall of Fame bust and the new plaque, Allen described it as “another feather in his cap.”

A Personal Achievement

Eric Allen, a former 14-year pro, has a history with the Raiders not only as a player but also an on-air talent. He reminisced about the early days at Allegiant Stadium during COVID-19 when the venue was empty, and he would admire the names of past greats like Marcus Allen and Freddy B. Having his own jersey and plaque now exhibited there is a fulfilling moment for him.
