Career
Al Reynolds played in 98 games [4] with the Texans/Chiefs and was a starter in 56 of those games through his career in the AFL. Al is also credited with 1 fumble [5] in his career but when questioned about this his only reaction was "I did? I don't remember that." The NFL apparently doesn't know which game it was in. Only that the fumble occurred during the 1966 season in which the Chiefs went on to play Green Bay in the first AFL-NFL World Championship. Since Allen was an offensive lineman it can only be assumed this happened during an attempt to recover a fumble by another player.
Allen's official position was right guard but during his career with the Texans and Chiefs he proved valuable at several positions in the offensive line. He is credited with playing both left and right guard and well as playing right offensive tackle.
After the 1967 season Allen did not immediately retire from pro football. Before the 1968 season the AFL expanded into Cincinnati with the Bengals football club. During the expansion draft that year, the Bengals drafted several of the Kansas City Chiefs including offensive guard Allen Reynolds.[6] Allen spent time with the team before the season began but ultimately decided to retire from pro football and keep his family rooted in Kansas City. He did not play any games with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Family life
At the time of his retirement, Al was married to his wife Diane Reynolds and had 3 young daughters, Jennifer, Monica and Alicia. He and Diane would later have 2 more children, son's Allen and Thomas.
