HC Robert Saleh says Bills QB Josh Allen is ‘Arguably One of the Best Quarterbacks’

In Week 1, the Jets held Jackson, the 2019 NFL MVP, to 17 yards rushing on 6 attempts, sacked him twice and came away with an interception.

But, unlike Jackson, Allen’s size (6-5, 237) presents a unique challenge. Allen has rushed for 207 yards after contact this season according to PFF, more than a third of his total.

“He is bigger,” Williams said in comparison to the NFL’s other dual-threat QBs. “He is huge. He is like 6-5. He can stiff arm, can run the ball, can jump, can hurdle, He is basically a running back that can throw the ball.”

The Bills are second in the NFL in scoring, averaging 29 points per game, thanks in large part to Allen’s ability to create explosives with his legs, but more notably his arm.

Allen has averaged 8.3 yards per pass attempt this season, and completed a 98-yard touchdown pass in Week 5 against the Steelers.

“He is good man,” Williams said. “He is an elite quarterback, especially when he throws deep balls. Super powerful. Going against him is going to be a big challenge.”
