Keenan Allen signed a one-year deal worth $8.52 million with the Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday.

The veteran spent the first 11 seasons of his career as a member of the Chargers and now he's back home for his 13th year in the league.

Allen was originally drafted by in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft when the Chargers were still in San Diego. 

The 33-year-old vet spent last season as a member of the Chicago Bears, where he put up a career-low 744 receiving yards (min. 10 games). 

Now, the six-time Pro-Bowl and 2017 Comeback Player of the Year (2017) is back with the Bolts. 

In his 11 years with the Chargers, Allen put up six 1,000-yard seasons, setting a career-high in 2017 with 1,393 yards - the year after he tore his ACL the previous season. 

Over the course of his career, Allen has put up 974 receptions, 11,274 receiving yards, and 66 receiving touchdowns. Should Allen put up another 1,000-yard season, he will leap from 40th on the all-time receiving yards list to the top-30, leaping Hall of Fame legends such as Calvin Johnson Jr., Michael Irving, Hines Ward, and the recent inductee and Chargers legend Antonio Gates, who has 11,841.
