NFL Career

After a successful college career of outstanding achievement, Allen Hurns remained undiscovered in the 2014 NFL Draft, so he signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undiscovered free agent.

He made his first appearance in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles in September of the same year when he caught 4 passes for 110 yards and 2 touchdowns from QB Chad Henne. Allen’s first two receptions within the first quarter both went to touchdowns, making him the second wide receiver in NFL history to score touchdowns on his first two catches. The only person to hold that record ahead of Allen was Charles Rogers (former Detriot Lions wide receiver).

Hurns was also the first rookie in NFL history to score two receive touchdowns in the first quarter of his first game. He ended his rookie season with 51 receptions for 677 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns.

Although he was absent from some games due to a head injury, Hurns still ended the 2015 season with 64 receptions, 1,031 yards, and 10 touchdowns. That same year, he became the first free player in NFL history to score the most touchdowns in the first two seasons and the only wide receiver to score a touchdown in seven consecutive games.

In 2016, he was named the 89th NFL Top 100 Player of the Year. In the same year, he signed a four-year contract extension with the Jaguars. The contract was worth $40 million with a $20 million guarantee. This was not one of Allen Hurns’ best seasons as he suffered setbacks and ended the season with receptions (35), 477 yards, and three touchdowns.

He would end the 2017 season with 46 catches for 576 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Jaguars released him on March 20, 2018, and three days later the Dallas Cowboys signed a $12 million two-year contract, changing his jersey number from 88 to 17 to honor the victims of the parkland shoot.
