Josh Allen is the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. He is a physically strong and tall quarterback standing 6 feet 5 inches and weighing 237 lbs. Born in a small town just near Fresno, California, Allen found it difficult to approach quality schools in his pursuit of football. However, after breaking through from the University of Wyoming, he has managed to send the NFL world into a frenzy.
The dual-threat quarterback has changed the Bills' offense and turned it into a juggernaut since taken 7th overall in the 2018 NFL draft. Allen has the arm to go the deep route along with his rushing abilities, that always keeps the opposing defense on their toes. Allen has an extraordinary resume in the NFL in just 6 years as he has over 22,000 passing yards and more than 3,500 rushing yards in the regular season alone. He has received enormous praise for his combination of size, arm strength, athleticism, mental toughness, and leadership skills. He has also been compared to all-time greats such as John Elway, Brett Favre, and Ben Roethlisberger due to his physical attributes and gunslinger mentality.
Allen, who has always carried Bills offense singlehandedly most of the time during his tenure, might have to take his game even further in 2024 due to the departure of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis in the offseason.
