Quarterback Peyton Manning, defensive back Charles Woodson and wide receiver Calvin Johnson all made it in in their first year of eligibility.
Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press recapped the events from Saturday.
Also making it were safety John Lynch, guard Alan Faneca, wide receiver Drew Pearson, a senior nominee, Tom Flores, a coach nominee, and scout Bill Nunn, a contributor nominee.
"As far as I feel about not making it this year, gotta get better," Allen wrote in a text message to the Pioneer Press. "Ha ha ha. Honestly, it's such a great honor to be a finalist. Lucky for me, Jesus, my wife and kids still love me. I survived 38 years without being a hall of famer, so I'm sure I'll survive till if/when it happens. Lol."
