Over the past few years, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills has emerged as one of the best all-around quarterbacks in the game, blessed with the ability to attack opposing defenses with his size, arm strength and running ability.
With Allen becoming a legitimate superstar in the NFL, he has helped Buffalo become one of the best teams in the league and perennially in contention for a Super Bowl title.
Although Allen gets a lot of credit for his ability to air it out for the Bills, the one thing that makes him so difficult to defend is his rushing ability, as he’s tough to get down and much faster than he looks once he breaks free.
Despite having the unique ability to make an impact with his legs as a quarterback, Allen isn’t all that fond of running in general, as he told Kay Adams on “Up & Adams.”
“I don’t like running … the only time I like running is when there’s guys chasing me,” Allen said.

Most people probably will sympathize with Allen’s ideas about running, as no one likes to do so unless they have to for whatever reason, even though many can’t relate to also getting chased by NFL players on a football field.
With the Bills going through some significant changes during the NFL offseason — namely the departure of superstar wide receiver Stefon Diggs — Allen will be under more pressure to get things done offensively, and only time will tell if he’s still up to the challenge.
