Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been trending online after ESPN recently surveyed over 100 anonymous NFL players. The players were asked to respond to a series of questions.
Among those was who is the most overrated quarterback in the league.
In the ESPN survey, 11 players voted Josh Allen the most overrated quarterback, placing him just ahead of Philadelphia Eagles signal caller Jalen Hurts and Miami Dolphins star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who garnered ten votes apiece.
One NFC West player who voted for Allen cited ball security as their reason, saying, “Too many turnovers.”
The Buffalo Bills quarterback saw his name trending, but he seemed more interested in the fact that he was also voted “biggest trash-talker” among quarterbacks.
On Wednesday morning, Josh Allen tweeted, “So you’re telling me, I was voted as the #1 … best trash talker??? Let’s goooooo!!!”

ESPN noted that Allen has had the most total turnovers in the NFL since entering the league in 2018, with 102. That is a huge number, but they also stated that his 221 combined passing, rushing, and receiving touchdowns during that same timeframe are second in the league behind only Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, who has 231.
The No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft out of Wyoming started his career badly. Many thought he would be a bust when he threw more interceptions than touchdowns in his rookie year.
Josh Allen went on to exceed all expectations in the NFL, establishing himself as one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in NFL history.
