Brandon Allen

PRO: The Titans signed Brandon Allen as a free agent during the 2025 offseason to bring experience to the quarterback room. The 6-foot-2-inch quarterback has appeared in 18 games with 10 starts in his NFL career. He spent the last two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers where he saw action in three games with one start. Allen's most extensive action came in 2020 when he started five games for the Cincinnati Bengals. The Fayetteville, Ark., native has completed 166 of 293 passes for 1,810 yards and 11 touchdowns in nine seasons. Allen has also spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2017-18), L.A. Rams (2017-18) and Denver Broncos (2019).

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:
• Allen won his first career start against Cleveland on Nov. 3, 2019 by posting a passer rating of 125.6. He completed 12 of his 20 passes for 193 yards and two scores, including a 75-yard touchdown to tight end Noah Fant.
• On Dec. 27, 2020 on the road in Houston, Allen notched his second win as a starter. Allen began the game with seven consecutive completions and finished with a career-best 371 yards with two touchdowns in the 37-31 victory.

TITANS TIDBITS:
• Allen has been coached by Brian Callahan before when the Titans head coach served as the Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator while Allen played there from 2020-22. Allen started five games during the 2020 season after the Bengals' Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending injury. "I don't think people have enough respect for what Brandon Allen is," Callahan told Titans.com upon Allen's signing with the team. "Ultimately, Brandon has played 10 years for a reason."
• The tie between the Allen family and the University of Arkansas runs very deep. Allen's father, Bobby, spent over 20 years at the school as a position coach for the defensive line, linebackers, cornerbacks and free safeties and served as the team's defensive coordinator in 1998 and 2000. Allen's younger brother, Austin, led the SEC with 3,340 passing yards to go with 25 touchdown passes in 2016.
• In 2014, Arkansas super fan Canaan Sandy was able to score a touchdown during the Razorbacks' spring game when Allen handed him the ball and he ran for a 50-yard touchdown in front of fans. Sandy is a dedicated fan with special needs and formed a relationship with Allen among other Arkansas players and staff through his commitment to attending many of the school's athletic events.
