The decision to put Allen on the cover shouldn’t be a surprising one. He has turned himself into one of the best and most popular quarterbacks in the National Football League. The inclusion of Allen with Bills Mafia is a great touch, as they are such a big part of the team and community.
There was speculation that Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson might grace the cover, but there is plenty of opportunity for that to happen in the future.
