Keenan Allen would want his fans to forget 2022. He had just six catches for 752 yards and only four touchdowns, but the Los Angeles Chargers reached the playoffs for the first time since the retirement of Phillip Rivers - only to blow a record 27-point lead and lose 30-31 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card.
Not much has changed in the Chargers - except for the drafting of TCU prospect Quentin Johnston, who is expected to take some of Allen's load. Still, the 2017 Comeback Player of the Year remains the focal point of their receiving game, and he still has plenty to prove, even at 31.

Andre follows the New York Jets and the Washington Commanders, mostly because he likes their colors. His favorite position is tight end, and players like Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce have always drawn Andre's attention when watching a game. Bill Belichick is his favorite coach, and his all-time favorite Super Bowl is the XLII edition, when the underdog New York Giants upset the then-undefeated New England Patriots.
If he can change one moment in NFL history, it will be from the NFC Championship Game in January 2019. In that game, a highly controversial no-call cost the Saints what would have been Drew Brees' second Super Bowl visit, where he would have faced Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Andre is always on the lookout for fresh perspectives in a story and ensures complete factual accuracy by double-checking all information before using it in his articles. He has an innate understanding of how to present information in an efficient and compelling way.
