Josh Allen is slowly rising up the ranks in the list of NFL quarterbacks. Earlier this year, Allen made his debut on the NFL Top 100 list at number 87. The young quarterback has been with the Buffalo Bills since 2018.

He started the 2020 NFL campaign on a strong note with a convincing 27-17 win against the New York Jets. The California-born quarterback is on a hot streak this year. He led the Bills to a 4-0 record before in the build-up to Week Five.

Allen is challenging the likes of Seattle Seahawks’ Russell Wilson and Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers for the NFL MVP award.
