Marcus Allen must be fun to be around.
After the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 23-20 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium, Allen led multiple teammates, such as star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, and even his head coach, Mike Tomlin, in a celebratory dance.

Allen played at Penn State from 2014-17, finishing his career fifth all-time in tackles and becoming a first-team All-Big Ten and third-team All-American his senior year.
He also made one of the most famous plays in Penn State history. Against Ohio State in 2016, Allen blocked a kick that Grant Haley returned for a touchdown, which ended up being the winning score in a 24-21 upset over the then-No. 2 Buckeyes.
