Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is not just popular among fans but also well-respected by his peers in the NFL. His array of skills, including size, arm strength, athleticism, instinct, leadership, and competitive drive, make him one of the best quarterbacks in the league today.
Since becoming the Bills’ full-time starter in 2019, Allen has elevated the team’s performance, leading them to double-digit wins and regular playoff appearances. He is a consistent performer, ranking among the league’s passing leaders and frequently in consideration for Pro Bowl selections.
Despite his remarkable performances, the MVP title has remained elusive for Allen, finishing behind players like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. However, many players believe that Allen’s time for the MVP honor is coming soon.
In a recent anonymous player poll by The Athletic, Allen was voted the player most likely to win an MVP award next, following the trend of past winners Mahomes, Jackson, and Aaron Rodgers. The poll revealed an overwhelming belief among players that Allen is due for this prestigious recognition, with 18 players casting their votes in his favor.
With impressive stats and a strong start to the season, Allen is making a compelling case for the MVP title. His peers see his potential and are excited about the prospect of him finally receiving this well-deserved recognition.
But Allen is not the only player gaining recognition in the NFL. Players also voted on who would be a standout performer in flag football at the Olympics, with speedster Tyreek Hill emerging as the top choice. Hill’s agility and quickness make him a perfect fit for the high-paced, non-contact game.
Players also shared their thoughts on various topics ranging from favorite road trip cities to least favorite game destinations, their opinions on Taylor Swift’s presence at Chiefs games, and the debate on using taxpayer funds for stadium construction.
Through these player polls, we gain unique insights into the thoughts and perspectives of NFL athletes on and off the field, adding a new dimension to our understanding of the game and its players.
