Jared Allen
Jared Allen is now the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. On Wednesday he was traded to the Vikings with a deal including $31 million guaranteed and could be worth $74 million if he meets incentives. Last year Allen led the league in sacks and has made a name for himself. This is a big accomplishment coming from a 4th round draft pick by Kansas City and playing his college career here at Idaho State. He was a standout player here and hopefully this amazing opportunity will encourage him to give back to Idaho State. His younger brother is currently on the team which will hopefully be a higher incentive to give back. He has already purchased new uniforms for the football team for next season. The success of Allen can only benefit ISU football and hopefully other ISU sports.

Wow Blakely, I hope that you are right...that would be great for ISU football. It is quite generous of him to purchase new uniforms for the season.
As a sidenote...my husband is a huge Vikings fan and if Allen plays as well as it sounds like he does, my hubby's in for a real treat!
