American sportscaster Mike Tirico heaps praise on Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen

Popular NBC Sportscaster Mike Tirico had some words of praise reserved for the young quarterback.

“You know the whole Favre comparisons right? Like, when Josh Allen starts running away, especially his rookie year, when he started running around just aimlessly, but keeping a play alive for 8 to 12 seconds, I love that.”

“That was some of the most enjoyable football I saw in 2018 and then getting to know him in 2019, I like that kid a lot. I hope he can harness it all together. So I think there’s raw ability leadership passion. He’s a great fit for Buffalo, I really hope he does well,” Tirico told Pro Football Focus.

Allen became just the third player since 1975 with 25+ pass yards, 40+ rush yards, and 15+ receiving yards in a single game. Experts have heaped praise on the young quarterback with respect to his arm strength, mobility, mental toughness, and leadership skills. His scrambling ability in the pocket has earned him comparisons with the great Brett Favre. However, can he live up to those expectations in the coming seasons?
