Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Coming out of a relatively small college program (Wyoming), Allen surprised many when he was taken No. 7 overall by Buffalo.

“I wasn’t surprised at all,’’ the scout said. “Yeah, you’re always concerned about the level of competition. But his traits stood out so much. He has such a big arm and his running ability was really evident. He was the whole team in college.’’

Allen has worked out well in Buffalo. He blossomed in 2019, leading the Bills to the playoffs. He threw for 20 touchdowns with only nine interceptions. He also rushed for 510 yards and nine touchdowns.

“Of all the quarterbacks in that draft, he ended up with the best marriage to a team,’’ the scout said. “Think about it for a minute. We’re talking about Buffalo. Josh is a cold-weather guy and he’s gritty. That’s what Buffalo is all about. He’s going to just keep getting better because he’s in the perfect environment.’’
