25 days until kickoff, and Eric Allen built Hall of Fame career at Arizona State

Just a day after spotlighting one of the most successful JUCO players in Arizona State history, today's installment of our countdown to kickoff features one of the most outright legendary Sun Devils of all time, recently enshrined Hall of Famer Eric Allen.

It's fortuitous timing - or perhaps fate - that Allen was officially inducted to the NFL's Hall of Fame this weekend just days before grabbing the spotlight in this series. The ballhawking cornerback set the league on fire wearing 21, but his career started in maroon and gold with 25 emblazoned across his chest.
