Chargers WR Keenan Allen on Verge of Surpassing 10,000 Career Receiving Yards, Sets Sight on Antonio Gates' Record

Allen Likely to Reach Milestone Against Jets, Aims to Top Antonio Gates Record of 11,851 Career Receiving Yards

Chargers WR Keenan Allen is 70 yards away from achieving 10,000 career receiving yards, a milestone he is likely to reach in the upcoming game against the New York Jets considering his average of 74.7 yards per game.
Allen's impressive consistency as a receiver is attributed to his dedication to his craft and his ability to read coverages and adjust his game as needed, rather than relying solely on physical attributes.
After reaching the 10,000 yards milestone, Allen sets his sights on surpassing Antonio Gates' Chargers record of 11,851 yards. Gates achieved this over 16 seasons, six of which he and Allen were teammates.
Despite a career-threatening ACL injury in 2016, Allen has consistently produced notable stats each season since his recovery - this year alone, he has 643 yards on 54 catches with four TDs within just seven games.
Regarded as one of the 'greats' in football by his coaching team and peers, Allen's performance continually makes him a key figure in the Chargers' offensive strategy and a role model for other players in the league.
