Kevin Allen (born June 21, 1963 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is a former professional American football tackle who played in the National Football League for one season for the Philadelphia Eagles.

[edit] NFL banning

After a subpar rookie season, Allen tested positive for cocaine after reporting to Eagles training camp in 1986. Soon after that, he was charged with sexual assault and spent the next three years in prison. He was banned from the league for life soon afterward. Buddy Ryan thought so little of Allen that he once described him as someone who could only be useful "if you want someone to stand around and kill the grass."[1]
