One of the problems Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had to limit on his way to his MVP-caliber season in 2020 was his “hero ball” tendency. In his rookie season, especially, he tried to do too much and not trust his teammates. It’s something he is still working on this offseason with his personal coach, Jesse Palmer, and his ability to focus and calm has been a focal point for the duo.
“Back in the day I tried to play pissed off on the field and I found myself not playing very well, tensed up. Now, whether it be small things like listening to calming music pregame, to not be so hyped and anxious for the game,” said Allen, per Peter King of NBC Sports.
