The guy who never played football until high school, and only then after the coach gave him $10 for a physical, tight end Dwayne Allen has made a name for himself in the NFL. Known by his teammates as a selfless player, Allen is equally known in the community as a tireless servant.
And now, he’s being honored for both.
“All the characteristics that we’re looking for in a football player and a man and teammate, he’s got them all and then some,” said Coach Chuck Pagano. “Great leadership on the field, great leadership off the field, great leadership in the locker room, but more importantly, what this guy gives back to the community, all the time that he spends serving others.
