Chris McAllister (born March 3, 1991) is an American football defensive end for the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League (IFL). He attended Judson High School in Converse, Texas; upon graduating in 2009, he played football at Baylor University. During his time at Baylor, McAllister recorded a total of 15.0 sacks; this left him tied for the record of most career sacks in Baylor history. He led the team in sacks in 2012 and 2013 (with 6.0 and 6.5, respectively).[1]
McAllister went undrafted in 2014. He eventually earned a tryout with the Houston Texans of the NFL, but failed to make the team.[2] He was assigned to the San Jose SaberCats of the Arena Football League on July 30, 2015.[3] He recorded statistics in exactly one game for the SaberCats; there, he assisted on a sack in the team's regular season finale against the Los Angeles Kiss. McAllister finished the season on the team's Injured Reserve list; despite this, he won his first AFL Championship when the SaberCats defeated the Jacksonville Sharks in ArenaBowl XXVIII.
On December 4, 2015, McAllister was assigned to the Arizona Rattlers.[4] McAllister re-signed with Rattlers on November 21, 2016.
