Delbert Allen "Rabbit" Keen (December 10, 1914 – June 4, 1984) was an American football back who played two seasons of professional football. A native of Oklahoma, he played college football for two years at Connors Agricultural College (now Connors State College) before spending his last two years at Arkansas. He was not selected in the 1937 NFL draft, but managed to make the roster of the Philadelphia Eagles nonetheless and appeared in eight games that year, running for 154 yards and throwing the second-longest pass of the season, an 86-yard touchdown against the Green Bay Packers which was ultimately the only completed pass of his career. He split time between the Eagles and the Richmond Arrows of the Dixie League in 1938, and did not play afterwards.
