Brandon Allen

Brandon Allen was a sixth-round pick out of Arkansas in 2016, where he set multiple school records as a four-year starter. After bouncing through practice squads with Jacksonville and the Rams, Allen made spot starts with Denver and Cincinnati, where he briefly shone as an emergency starter for the Bengals in 2020.

Now with the Giants, Allen has settled into life as a reliable backup quarterback — the kind of player teams value for his experience, preparation, and composure under center when starters go down.
