Pat Shurmur’s Josh Allen comment catches Bills’ attention

Intentionally or not, Giants coach Pat Shurmur provided some digital bulletin-board material for the Bills this week with his quotes about Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen.

A tweet by the NFL Network’s Kimberly Jones, quoting Shurmur on Wednesday as saying he believed during the lead-up to the 2018 draft that Allen “had a chance to be a starter” in the NFL, was displayed Thursday on televisions around the Bills’ training complex, according to The Athletic.

The Giants ended up drafting Saquon Barkley with the second pick in last year’s draft, with Allen the third quarterback selected at No.
