Jacksonville Jaguars star edge rusher Josh Hines-Allen revealed that his wife played a part in his name change this offseason.

Hines-Allen, who was often referred to as "the other Josh Allen" next to the famed Buffalo Bills quarterback, told The Athletic's Dan Pompei that he and his wife Kaitlyn watched highlights of the Pro Bowl Games and heard the commentator say, "Aidan Hutchinson and Josh … Allen?"

"It was almost like she was confused about who I was," Hines-Allen said.

The commentator wasn't alone, as Kaitlyn discovered that it was difficult to find where her husband's jerseys were being sold.
