Kyle Allen has officially signed with the Detroit Lions for the 2025 NFL season. Initially drafted as an undrafted free agent, Allen is expected to compete for the backup quarterback position behind Jared Goff. His journey started at Texas A&M, where he showcased immense potential before transferring to Houston due to injuries. Over his NFL career, he has demonstrated reliability as a backup, with his most impressive season occurring in 2019, when he started 12 games and threw for over 3,300 yards.

While his time at A&M included playing alongside notable quarterbacks such as Kellen Mond and Kyler Murray, Allen's transition to the pros has been tumultuous, marred by injuries and inconsistent performances. Now under the guidance of Lions head coach and former Texas A&M tight end Dan Campbell, Allen has a chance to revive his career in a competitive backup role.
