Marcus Allen’s Raiders career may have ended in an undesirable way, including finishing with the rival Kansas City Chiefs, but that should take nothing away from how great he was in silver and black.
In 11 seasons with the Raiders, albeit some of which with minimal playing time, Allen rushed for 8,545 yards and 79 touchdowns. His best season, coming in 1985, Allen ran for an impressive 1,759 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Like several other players and employees in franchise history, disputes with Al Davis were their downfalls. In the case of Marcus Allen, although his stats took somewhat of a hit in the long run, he still goes down as one of the Raiders’ all-time greats nonetheless and was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003.
