Three words resonate with Damon Allen when thinking of what his brother and NFL legend Marcus told him on multiple occasions during his storied career in the Canadian Football League. “Play within yourself,” Allen said. Now, Allen is hoping to share those words and his vast knowledge from a Hall of Fame career in the CFL with the Las Vegas Raiders, the organization his older brother starred for and led to a Super Bowl title in 1984.
