Why is Jaguars DE Josh Allen changing his name to Joshua Hines Allen? Find out
In a video accompanying the post, he stated, "My last name has been changed, but I'm still that person. And I will continue to play like it, play even better." The Jaguars have announced that Hines-Allen will organize a jersey swap for supporters in September. In April, the Jaguars signed Hines-Allen to a five-year contract extension after he recorded a career-high 17.5 sacks the previous season.
Josh Allen’s old jersey will be retired
When training camp opens on July 24, the "Allen" jerseys will be retired and replaced with brand-new "Hines-Allen" jerseys in his locker. In addition to his heritage, Hines-Allen's name change will formally separate him from Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
Hines-Allen is 2-0 versus Allen in his career, having defeated the Bills' quarterback in London last year and in 2021. Hines-Allen had his first career interception in 2019.
The Jaguars gave Hines-Allen a hefty five-year, $150 million contract extension this offseason after he had a career-high 17.5 sacks the previous season. Hines-Allen was picked by the Jaguars in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft and is one of the few players in the team's recent history to get a contract extension.
This offseason, Hines-Allen has made it a priority to discuss his legacy and what he will be remembered for in history. His goals include Super Bowl appearances, All-Pro selections, and Defensive Player of the Year recognition. However, none of this takes precedence over his desire to simply outperform his sister, Myisha.
Hines-Allen will have a September jersey swap event in Jacksonville for supporters who possess his "Allen 41" jersey. Allen's agency, William-Raymond, stated in a press statement Tuesday that further information about the event will be released at a later date.
