DiVincenzo’s tweets from his time as a teenager emerged on social media shortly after his MVP performance in the national title game of the NCAA basketball tournament. The timing for Allen could be more problematic: hours before the NFL draft.
A search through the quarterback’s Twitter history shows some offensive and racist posts from 2012 and 2013.
Be warned, some of the language used below may be offensive.
Allen has tweeted the “n” word multiple times.
“@cheriishhh: i dont think you niggas want a troubled son!”

He also responded to a question that looks like was asked of him on AskFM in 2013, saying “If it ain’t white, it ain’t right!”
Why are you so white ? — If it ain't white, it ain't right! http://t.co/wsLQKZQWG5

While this one isn’t necessarily offensive, Allen also shared his public dislike for NBA star LeBron James in 2011.
I hate LeBron!!!!! #LeBronSucks

All of the tweets in question came when Allen was young — at least two years before he enrolled at Wyoming, providing yet another example of the dangers in social media.
There has been no word yet from Allen or his agent about the tweets, which will presumably come before the draft kicks off Thursday night from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
