The hype surrounding Josh Allen is understandable, especially after his memorable season with the Bills that saw him register a career-high 4,544 passing yards on a highly efficient 69.2 percent completion rate. He also almost doubled his touchdown mark from his sophomore season, recording 37 TDs in 16 games played and started for Buffalo.
As mentioned, his brilliant play allowed him to make his first Pro Bowl appearance in the 2020 season. At the end of the campaign, he was also named to the second-team All-Pro.
For what it's worth, Buffalo reporter Kevin O'Neill apparently won the one-of-one rookie card of the Bills star. He tweeted the news, sharing that he is just happy to keep the card in Buffalo.
“Excited I won. Glad I could keep this in Buffalo. It’s an investment for my family’s future. Next step: tell my wife,” O'Neill wrote on Twitter after winning the auction for Allen rookie card.
