Kelly was a star for the Buffalo Bills during his playing days. In the early 1990s, he helped the team reach the Super Bowl four times in a row with his fast-playing "K-Gun" offense. Even though the team didn’t win, he was a great leader and made a big impact. Later, the team retired his No. 12 jersey.

"I'd like to thank Joel and LaVonne, my parents," Allen said. "Who ... s---, in my 20-plus years of playing football going down to Pop Warner, I bet you they've missed maybe 15 games in their entire life. They are so dedicated to supporting me and my favorite teammates, who are my sister, my brother and my little sister.

"Thank you guys for all the support, all the time, money, energy wasted growing up going from meet to game to practice everyday. I love you guys. I know you take a lot of pride in this as well."
