Playing with a new NFL team, the veteran wide receiver is within striking distance of 1,000 career receptions
With 96 pass receptions this season, former Cal wide receiver Keenan Allen would join a select club — just 14 current — of NFL players with 1,000 catches.
Allen has turned out to be a draft steal. The eighth of 27 wide receivers chosen that year, Allen has sculpted a career that clearly exceeds that of six of the seven wideouts taken before him. The key for Allen will be staying healthy. He missed 11 games the past two seasons with hamstring and heel injuries and is currently is trying to move past foot pain caused by an issue with his cleats, general manager Ryan Poles told the Tribune.On a team that has ranked better than 16th in the NFL in offense just twice in the past 15 seasons, Allen is the grownup in the room.
“This dude goes out and he’s routing the first defense up,” Scott said. “It was like they couldn’t guard him. Just watching him, all the different route combinations, the way he would just get open.
