quarterback Josh Allen’s future Drafting a quarterback in the top-10 of the NFL draft alone brings a spark to any team. For the Buffalo Bills Vosean Joseph NFL Draft , drafting Josh Allen brings excitement to the city, the fans and the players that the franchise has lacked since the 90s. Allen is one of the most physically gifted but raw talents the NFL has seen in quite some time and the possibility of him starting has enlivened some of his teammates.“Josh is impressive,” Bills leader Lorenzo Alexander told Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic before Allen was named the starter for this Sunday. “I think he had a lot of criticism as far as whether or not he was NFL ready coming out. Watching him and his poise in the pocket, being able to still keep his eyes down field and fire the ball and find guys open, it’s impressive. He’s making plays when he needs to. He took a shot today and got right back up.”This upcoming Sunday is the Bills’ third preseason game, at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. Monday, the Bills announced that Josh Allen will be making the start after AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman started the fist two. Normally, the third preseason game is seen as a dress rehearsal for the regular season and Allen starting this game could be an indication who will be the week one starter, especially if Allen performs well. “He’s definitely gaining my trust,” said Alexander. “He already has my respect, but just my trust as far as him going out there and being able to command the offense, get guys in place, run it smoothly as a young guy. If he’s in that spot, it’s not going to be like Vosean Joseph NFL Jersey , ‘Oh no, we’ve got a rookie out there.’ He seems like he’s holding his own and operating at a high level. Obviously he has to go and continue to get better as time goes on and he gains experience. He’s impressive to me. If he ends up winning it, we’ll have as good a chance as if any of those other guys win.”Fairburn says that third-year defensive end, Shaq Lawson was radiant while talking about the Bills’ first draft pick. “Oh, man, he’s energetic,” said Lawson. “Like he’s been here three or four years. He’s not like a normal rookie. When a rookie comes in, I know how I was, I was quiet. He’s energetic. He’s a leader like he’s been in the league a long time. You can tell in how he prepares and plays.”Lawson continued, comparing Allen to a rookie QB from a year ago that electrified the league.“I’ve been knowing what type of guy Josh is since he got here,” said Lawson. “He’s got a big arm, strong kid, moves well in the pocket. He’s a special athlete. The last time I said that about a quarterback who was a special athlete was in college when I was talking about Deshaun [Watson]. He’s special. Josh Allen is really a special athlete.”Allen can make throws that McCarron or Peterman simply don't have the arm talent to make. It is quite possible that Allen has the strongest arm in the NFL and the ball effortlessly explodes out of his hand. As a player or a fan, it is hard not to get excited for what the future could hold for Allen and the Bills. One of the grand traditions of football is to talk about all opponents like they’re Joe Montana Vosean Joseph Jersey Draft , and all coaches like they’re Vince Lombardi. Even when it’s not true, you don’t risk the wrath of the football gods with overconfidence.And when you’re the Jets, you have to make doubly sure you take that obligation seriously.Via聽Steve Serby of the New York Post, the Jets are in the counterintuitive position this week of having to talk up Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman 鈥?the guy with three touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and a 32.5 passer rating in a league in which one incomplete pass gets you a 39.6.鈥淗e鈥檚 a player in the NFL, same as me, same as all the guys in this locker room, and at one time or another to be honest, most of us, myself personally, I鈥檝e been counted out as well,鈥?linebacker Brandon Copeland said. 鈥淚 know that there were some people who would never expect that I would line up and be starting on an NFL roster. I don鈥檛 take any person for granted, right? Because I know that right now he鈥檚 working to kick our tails.”Copeland’s point about pedigree is valid. A former undrafted rookie from Penn Infant Vosean Joseph Jersey , he went to camp with the Ravens in 2013, spent part of that season on the Titans practice squad, ended up in the Arena League and made it back to the NFL via the veteran combine process.鈥淚鈥檝e been fired, and cut for a whole season, and I鈥檝e sat home and I wasn鈥檛 even the worst person in the NFL 鈥檆ause I wasn鈥檛 even in the NFL,” he said. “I know that that person is working his tail off to make us look stupid, because I鈥檝e been that guy and I鈥檓 working my tail off to make them look stupid as well. I just don鈥檛 take him lightly at all. And if he can come out there and embarrass us, I know that he will in a heartbeat, right?鈥淨uite frankly, we don鈥檛 have the right to take anybody lightly.鈥漈hat’s the most valid point of all.
