BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Josh Allen said the message going through his head when he is running downfield is “don’t get hit.”
Hits are what lead to injuries. While Allen hasn’t missed a game since his rookie season, losing the quarterback for any length of time would be bad news for a Buffalo Bills offense that has revolved around him. But the mindset Allen has maintained throughout his career is that he is a football player first and a quarterback second.
“He thinks he’s a linebacker sometimes,” general manager Brandon Beane said last year.
