Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is quite comfortable with his surroundings in the midst of a career season, especially after a recent act of kindness from the Bills Mafia.
The Buffalo community raised more than $300,000 for Oishei Children's Hospital in honor of Allen's late grandmother.
Allen was very appreciative of the fundraising efforts, and gushed even more about playing for the city of Buffalo and its fan base on Wednesday. The former seventh-overall pick even suggested he wants to spend his entire career with the Bills:
“My family is forever engraved here, myself included. I don't ever want to leave,” Allen said, via Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. “I want to play for as long as I can and give back to this community and Bills Mafia.”
Bills fans have every reason to throw support behind their franchise quarterback, who has been one of the best signal-callers in football this year.

The 24-year-old experienced big year-over-year growth from 2018 to 2019, and the Bills sought to advance his progression further by acquiring Stefon Diggs in the offseason.
Diggs has wasted little time becoming Allen's favorite target. He leads the Bills in receptions (63) and receiving yards (813), and has been one of Buffalo's most reliable offensive weapons.
With Allen and Diggs in synch, the Bills have been firing on all cylinders. Buffalo is building a sustainable winner, one Allen hopes to be a part of for the remainder of his career.
