MORE INFO ON JOSH ALLEN: Since entering the league in 2018, Allen has shown off his arm strength, athleticism (especially in his running abilities), and clutch performances.
When the 2018 NFL Draft took place, Allen was one of the top quarterback prospects in the class and was eventually selected seventh overall by the Buffalo Bills.
In his rookie season, it took a bit of time for Allen to adjust to the speed and physicality of the NFL game. While he showed flashes of brilliance, Allen also struggled with consistency and accuracy.
But after working on his game, he had his breakthrough season in 2019, in which the Bills QB led the team to a 10-6 record and a playoff appearance.
He set numerous franchise records, including the most passing touchdowns in a season (20) and the most rushing yards by a quarterback (510). Allen was also selected to play in the Pro Bowl.
Allen then led the Bills to a 13-3 record and the AFC Championship Game in 2020, and was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month in November of that same year.
In addition to his arm strength, Josh Allen is also an exceptional runner, using his size and speed to pick up crucial yards when the pocket collapses.
This should help retain the value of Josh Allen cards in the foreseeable future.
