Josh Allen Facts
- In 1907, his great-grandfather emigrated to the United States from Sweden.
- Josh Allen spent his childhood years growing up on a 3,000-acre (1,200 ha) cotton farm near Firebaugh, a small town about 40 miles (64 km) west of Fresno, California.
- During his high school years, he was involved in many sports as well as worked on the family farm and at the restaurant his mother operated in Firebaugh.
- He was unable to secure an athletic scholarship but when San Diego State made him an offer to walk on, Allen decided against it because Aztecs coach Rocky Long couldn’t guarantee any playing time. ESPN journalist Mark Schlabach speculated in a 2017 story on why Josh Allen got so little interest out of high school, stating, “At the time, Josh was about 6-foot-3 and 180 pounds. He hadn’t attended the elite quarterback camps and wasn’t a widely known prospect. His high school team didn’t participate in many 7-on-7 camps because Josh and many of his teammates were busy playing baseball and other sports. He was the leading scorer on his basketball team and also pitched on the baseball team, reaching 90 mph with his fastball.”
- In the 2018 NFL Draft, he was selected 7th overall by the Buffalo Bills.
- Allen has been friends with football quarterbacks Sam Darnold and Kyle Allen and the three have often trained and vacationed together.
- Reportedly his pregame playlist includes entries by Frank Sinatra (That’s Life), Sammy Davis Jr., Elvis Presley, Paul Anka (Put Your Head on My Shoulder), and Billy Joel (The Stranger).
- Apart from his athletic pursuits, Josh is also a 4th-generation farmer.
