Over the last few seasons, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has found peace in the offseason. Not only has he become one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL, but he has also gotten married to movie star Hailee Steinfeld. ... who has become "The Queen of Buffalo.''
In addition to everything else, Allen has found both relaxation and a competitive outlet taking up golf as a hobby.
Allen has participated in several golf outings over the last few years. Buffalo has also seen its league MVP continue to improve during that time. But what fans and golf enthusiasts don't know is that Allen has a particular soft spot when it comes to the pastime.
During his latest outing, Allen conducted an interview while also serving as a pitchman for Corona Premier. The Bills' quarterback answered a "Quick 9" question for an Instagram reel and gave the kind of heartfelt response that has endeared him to fans not only in Buffalo but around the league.
The interviewer began with Allen choosing the one person to be paired with for a round of golf.
"If I could play one round with any golfer? My dad," said Allen.
Buffalo's franchise quarterback has always been complimentary of his father, Joel, who runs the family farm business back in central California. Josh spoke glowingly about the man right before he was drafted in 2017, and continues to be thankful for his father's impact on his life.
It's a good reminder of how "down to earth" Allen is as a player and person. Bills fans have known this for years.
Now, the rest of the NFL has also begun to understand that reality - which pairs nicely with the NFL recognizing that he might just be the best player in football.
