Watch: Jared Allen hoping to create a new ‘Miracle on Ice’

During his time with the Minnesota Vikings, rushing the passer seemed to come pretty natural for Jared Allen. In six seasons with the Vikings, Allen never finished with less than 11 sacks and in 2011 he set a franchise record when he racked up an impressive 22 sacks.

The defensive end is among the best to ever put on a Minnesota uniform, which includes a good amount of players who are currently enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Allen hasn’t played in the NFL since 2015 and now he and a few other former players are attempting to do something that doesn’t necessarily come as natural as their abilities on the football field.
