Josh Allen grew up around 2,700 miles away from Buffalo, New York, but when he first visited the Bills before he was even drafted, he knew it felt like home. When recalling the moment he realized he knew he loved Buffalo, he pointed to his official visit with the team before the draft. Allen went to Buffalo before he had visits scheduled with the Jets and Giants in the lead up to the draft, but it was the small-town of Buffalo that most appealed to him.
"It was on my official visit," Allen recalled, via NFL Network. "When I was over there, I got snowed in so I couldn't leave. I was visiting the Jets and Giants that next day, but I didn't get out in time. I went Bar-Bill with a couple scouts ... When I was just sitting there it felt like home to me. It's kind of the only thing that I've ever known of small-town feel where the people are great and the food is just as great. Those were two big factors for me in not having a huge city of traffic and this and that, that's something I feared. I just think it's home for me."
