We sadly have to say goodbye to Marcus LeMarr Allen, one of the greatest symbols of the Las Vegas Raiders and a legendary figure in our cherished club’s history. His impact on the game, the franchise, and the Raider Nation will never be forgotten.

Allen was more than just a running back—he was a game-changer. Drafted by the Raiders in 1982, he quickly established himself as one of the most electrifying players in the NFL. His combination of vision, agility, and power made him a nightmare for defenses, and his leadership on the field set the standard for excellence.

His crowning achievement came in Super Bowl XVIII, where he delivered one of the greatest performances in NFL history. With 191 rushing yards and a record-setting 74-yard touchdown run, Allen helped lead the Raiders to a dominant 38-9 victory over Washington and earned Super Bowl MVP honors. His dazzling runs and clutch performances made him the heart and soul of the team throughout the 1980s.

Allen’s legacy with the Raiders includes being named the 1985 NFL MVP, earning six Pro Bowl selections, and becoming the franchise’s all-time rushing leader at the time. He finished his career with over 12,000 rushing yards and 145 total touchdowns, securing his place as one of the greatest players in NFL history.

Off the field, Allen was a true ambassador of the game, respected for his professionalism and dedication. As we say goodbye, we celebrate his extraordinary contributions and the unforgettable moments he gave us.

Thank you, Marcus Allen—you will always be a Raider. Once a Raider, Always a Raider. ☠️‍☠️
