NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — New York Jets rookie Braelon Allen has become the youngest player to score a touchdown in a scrimmage game in the NFL in 94 years.

Allen scored on a 12-yard touchdown pass from the NFL’s oldest player, 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers, with 1:47 left in the second quarter Sunday against Tennessee. The fourth-round pick from Wisconsin bowled into the end zone to seal the game.

He equalised with his TD Arnie Herber scoring in 1930 at exactly the same age of 20 years and 239 days.

The TD catch tied the game at 7-7 on the Jets’ best drive to that point. Herber, born April 2, 1910, in Green Bay, was playing for the Packers when he caught a TD pass on Nov. 27, 1930.
