NFL Exec Would Draft Josh Allen over Mahomes, More Stars If Starting a New Franchise

The full Josh Allen experience can be a roller-coaster ride, but the Buffalo Bills quarterback showed in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Kansas City Chiefs why he remains a franchise cornerstone.

"I'm picking Josh Allen if we have a draft now to start a franchise," one NFL team executive said to The Athletic's Mike Sando.

Allen threw for 262 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and his 26-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter was one of the best plays of the season.

The play encapsulated why the 28-year-old, for all of his flaws, is a talent around whom you build a Super Bowl contender.
