Earlier this month, legendary former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen was finally selected as an inductee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the 2025 class.
Since the announcement, some have been wondering what Allen's bronze bust inside the Hall of Fame is going to look like since he was known for some pretty unique hairstyles and facial hair during his playing career.
Well, during an appearance on "Up & Adams" on Tuesday, the former All-Pro pass rusher shared exactly what just about every Vikings fan had been hoping for when it came to the look of his bronze bust.
"Oh full mullet. Absolutely, full mullet. Gotta find the right mullet. I'm trying to decide if I want 42-year-old hairline or 24-year-old hairline. Do I want [the 255-pound to 260-pound version of my] face or grown-up more distinguished face?
How do we do a beard? I've always got a beard. Do I go [Fu Manchu stye]? I don't know. Those are tough decisions. Racing stripes [on the side of my hair or] not racing stripes? Those are the ones we're trying to figure out.
It'll be iconic. It'll absolutely rock a mullet."
Former Minnesota Vikings DE Jared Allen will have the most iconic bronze bust inside the Pro Football Hall of Fame
So there you go. At the absolute very least, Allen confirmed that his bronze bust inside the Pro Football Hall of Fame will have a mullet hairstyle.
He's clearly still trying to figure the exact details of what the final version of his bust will look like. But we now know that when his bronze bust is revealed to the public during the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio this summer, it will be rocking a vintage Allen mullet.
What else will Allen do that adds his own unique style to his Hall of Fame induction? Will he ride into the ceremony on a horse like he did when he was inducted into the Vikings Ring of Honor in 2022? Will he cut off the sleeves of his iconic Hall of Fame gold jacket?
We will all just have to wait to find out until Allen and the rest of the 2025 class deliver their speeches and are officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, August 2nd.
