The Los Angeles Chargers veteran wide receiver is closing in on history on multiple fronts.

Allen, currently has 952 receptions as a member of the Chargers. He is currently three receptions behind former teammate and Chargers legend Antonio Gates for the franchise's all-time receptions lead.

The Chargers, as a franchise, has two wide receivers in the hall of fame: Lance Alworth and Charlie Joiner. For context, Keenan Allen not only is 366 receptions ahead of Joiner as members of the Chargers, he is also 1,425 yards ahead of Alworth. The game has evolved since Alworth played. Keenan Allen is undoubtedly in the best Chargers wide receiver of all time conversation.

Keenan Allen is still contributing at a high level for the Chargers.
