Remember the drought years, Bills Mafia? Growing up as a fan during those dreaded years, it was so easy to fall in love with franchise QB and MVP Josh Allen when he arrived in Buffalo.
But it's not just because of what he's able to do on the football field. While his on-field accolades earned him an MVP nod, perhaps his most important work is what he's able to do off the field.
Josh Allen is elite on and off the football field
Don't get me wrong, Allen is a top-three QB in the NFL, and he isn't number three. However, what won over the fanbase is his selflessness and equal love for the city and fans. The relationship between Josh Allen and Bills Mafia is mutual; it's all love, baby.
To no one's surprise, the larger-than-life QB made waves once again and showed the world why he's one of the very best humans in the entire NFL.
With the last day of practice at St John Fisher for the year, Allen wanted to leave fans with a little something special. This isn't the first, and won't be the last, time that Allen takes time out of his day to make sure the fanbase that has accepted him with open arms feels the love back.
Despite being sweaty and exhausted from practice, Allen walked around the entire field signing over 200 autographs for fans eager to meet and speak with the QB.
While it was just a few words and a signature, Allen went out of his way to make hundreds of children and adults feel extra special.
Josh Allen gives back to fans
As I mentioned, this wasn't the first time Allen ignored the "rules" to take it upon himself to spend a little extra time with the fanbase.
Earlier in the week, Allen spent some extra time with some patients from Oishei Children's Hospital. The QB made a profound impact on their lives outside of the game of football, so they wanted to cheer him on doing what he loves most. If this didn't bring a tear to your eye, you might want to check your pulse.
Bills Mafia loves Allen, Allen loves Bills Mafia
Buffalo has found their franchise QB, but even more important, Buffalo found a player who loves the city as much as the city loves him. Bills Mafia got a good one, and they're not going to take advantage.
