Eric Allen, who last played in the NFL in 2001, was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2025 after a 24-year wait, one of the longest in modern-era history. During his 14-year career, he recorded 54 regular-season interceptions, making him the only cornerback with 58 total interceptions and nine pick-sixes, and he expressed deep gratitude in his induction speech, thanking the Hall of Fame committee, family, and fellow players.
