Allen grew up in Firebaugh, California, a town with vast farm acreage, but fewer than 10,000 residents. He went on to play football at junior college and then Wyoming, and now plays for the small-market NFL team that chose him No. 7 in the draft nearly seven years ago.

Allen spoke with reporters for the first time since signing his record-setting six-year, $330 million extension with the Bills

The Buffalo Bills have confirmed that they have agreed a new deal with MVP quarterback Josh Allen, who signs a 6-year $330 million contract that guarantees him $250 million. Such an expensive deal breaks the current guaranteed high of $230 million, given to Deshaun Watson of the Cleveland Browns.
