2018 Senior Bowl: Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield day one review
Josh Allen
With Josh Allen, there are always going to be ‘wow’ types of plays. Even just watching Allen warm up, I was reminded of how effortlessly he can throw the football, and how easily he can put it on a rope 50 yards downfield.
This is a special type of arm talent, and I truly believe a young man that wants to get better and better at his craft. He understands the pressure that’s on him, but he said as a quarterback, he embraces that pressure.

He looked fearless throwing the football in Mobile, but what I noticed about Allen is that he’s so used to trying to fit the ball into tight windows (or having to fit the ball into tight windows) that he didn’t seem sure when to take something off of his throws.
Allen is getting an excellent opportunity to work with Mike Sullivan, who has spent the better part of his coaching career working with Eli Manning in New York, this week. Allen’s weaknesses in technique will come to the forefront of the tape, and he’ll be able to grow as a player from this experience.
On one particular play, moving to his left, Allen made an awesome throw to the sideline deep down the left side of the field look easy. It’s that type of throw that has NFL scouts and coaches thinking they can mold this kid into a star quickly.
