As Week 7 approaches, those who have been around Allen for any extended amount of time say that are thrilled at the milestones he continues to check off in his incredible career.
And everyone, including Allen, agrees that it's only right that he's doing it in powder blue.
"We visualized that a couple months ago when Keenan started practicing with us," Harbaugh said, referring to Allen joining the Bolts in training camp.
"We knew it was going to be cool to be a part of. And what's it like? It's cool to be a part of," Harbaugh added with a smile. "It's coming to fruition and we want that for our guys."
Allen added: "This where I started at and this is home base. It's where I have the majority of those catches. Being able it to do this in front of the fans was special."
Rivers gave his own inside perspective.
"It's a lot of fun now. I enjoy him being back with the Chargers and watching them on Sundays," Rivers said. "I'm pulling for them. It brings back great memories. He's one of my all-time favorites and a guy I always pull for."
For the record, Allen now has 1,007 career catches, 937 of which have come with the Chargers.
The next milestone in his sights is catching (and surpassing) **[Antonio Gates’](https://www.chargers.com/news/antonio-gates-hall-of-fame-stats-2025)** franchise record of 955 career receptions.
Allen said that one "absolutely" would mean the most out of anything he's accomplished in his career.
"That's the priority one," Allen said. "Definitely trying to catch Gates."
If, or when, Allen gets there, it will certainly be a real stat.
