Tennessee Titans invite quarterback Allen to rookie minicamp

Former Syracuse quarterback Drew Allen has been invited to rookie minicamp on a tryout basis by the Tennessee Titans, the Tennessean reported Friday.

Allen was one of 20 players to be invited to the minicamp, in addition to the team’s draft picks and undrafted free agents.

After transferring to the Orange from Oklahoma, Allen started the first three games of the season against Penn State, Northwestern and Wagner. He eventually lost the starting role to sophomore Terrel Hunt.

Allen played in seven games, completing 68-of-122 passes for two touchdowns and nine interceptions. He joins former teammate, cornerback Ri’Shard Anderson, at the Titans’ rookie minicamp this weekend.

Other former Syracuse players who have found an NFL team include: defensive tackle Jay Bromley (New York Giants), linebacker Marquis Spruill (Atlanta Falcons), running back Jerome Smith (Falcons), cornerback Keon Lyn (Indianapolis Colts), safety Jeremi Wilkes (Jacksonville Jaguars) and center Macky MacPherson (Philadelphia Eagles).
