ASU's 50 Best Professional Athletes: No. 23 Football's Eric Allen

Next up is a six-time Pro Bowler, and one of the most electrifying ballhawks to step onto the gridiron.

The first of a handful of Pro Football Hall of Fame caliber cornerbacks to appear on our list is 14-year pro Eric Allen.

Allen started his professional career with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was chosen by the franchise with the second pick in the second round of the 1988 NFL Draft.

He would spend the first seven seasons of his career in Philadelphia. During his time as an Eagle, he recorded 34 interceptions, returning five of them for touchdowns.
