Allen has been spectacular for the Bills, giving fans something meaningful to root for for the first time since Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly was under center for the franchise during the 1990s. And because of those reasons, one NFL analyst believes Allen is the best player in football.
NBC’s Chris Simms spoke to WKBW-TV at the NFL Combine earlier this week in Indianapolis and explained why he is a huge fan of Allen.

"You can win without a great quarterback, I think that gets overblown, at times," Simms said. "But when the team doesn't play as well, or you're playing a team that's a mismatch against you or you've got a few injuries, when you've got a guy like Josh Allen, he can cover those holes. That's what he does, let alone gives the team confidence every time they step on the field. ... That's why I love him. I've said this a few times, he's the best player in football."
