TERRY ALLEN

Terry Allen turned out to be a pretty nice little ninth round draft pick for the Vikings.  He filled in for Herschel Walker near the end of the 1991 season.  In 1992, he seized the starting running back gig and put together one of the finest all-around seasons in team history (1,201 rushing yards, 49 receptions for 478 yards, 15 total touchdowns).  A pre-season knee injury cost him all of 1993, but he returned in 1994 with another 1,000 yard season.  His NFL comeback was punctuated with an incredible 1,353 yard and 21 touchdown season for Washington in 1996.
