Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has found meaningful ways to spend his offseason in recent years. In addition to solidifying his status as one of the NFL’s top-paid quarterbacks and marrying actress Hailee Steinfeld, Allen has embraced golf as a personal hobby.
While he’s taken part in numerous golf outings and improved his game, there’s a sentimental side to the sport for Allen. During a recent interview, Allen was asked which golfer he would most like to play a round with. Without hesitation, he answered: “My dad.”
Allen’s response reflects the deep appreciation he has for his father, Joel, who manages the family farm in central California. Josh has consistently credited his father as a major influence in his life, including during his early football career leading up to the 2017 NFL Draft.
This moment served as another reminder of Allen’s grounded nature and the strong family values that continue to shape him, both as a player and a person. While Bills fans have long admired this side of him, it’s something the wider NFL community is starting to appreciate as well—just as Allen continues to prove himself among the league’s elite.
