Special guy, and hopefully a special back as well.

Reading this gave me goosebumps! To call and tell his brother about it had to brighten up the family in a time of grief! I wanted to try and do it myself but BUCK OWNS IT! RIH SALUTE

....and how many dances are you going to do in Miami?

[MissRay27]

I just love his maturity.

[RavensAllDay1987]

Buck Allen is going to be a special player.

[Asmodeus71]

Always good to see a player is still human... RIP to the friend

Ya think he can do it coming out of the tunnel?Hint!?!? Like Ray.

This "dancing" is getting really stupid. The last game the Ravens player was so focused on doing his "dance" after a sack he never notice fumbled football rolling around on the ground. Their celebrating something that they get paid a lot of money to do. So degrading.Spin the ball like Steve Smith now that's cool.

Some of us find the simplest things to complain about. The man is honoring his friend for crying out loud

[Bat-mite]

Sad but cool.

His first dance ... Makes it all the more special. I sensed something emotional when I saw it on tv, but attributed it to his first TD...good to know the bigger story behind it.

After all the "HARD WORK" "DEDICATION" and "COLLEGE" I see nothing wrong with a Lil outburst especially if you had no trouble during the course of your endeavors! I just like the dancing when it's against us! Lol

[Purple Dawg 96]

My bad "I DONT" like the dancing when it's against us! Lol

Few people make it out of the poverty and circumstances Buck comes from. Fewer still make it to a prestigious University as athletes. Not all of those athletes care to commit themselves to actually earning a degree. A miniscule amount of college athletes ever realize the dream of making it to the NFL. So what does this kid do when he reaches paydirt for the first time in a moment that sits on an altar built with years worth of blood, sweat and tears? He pauses to honor a friend and his memory with his first celebration.

This guy is a Raven, and we're honored to have him.
