Part 5/9:
Early Career Challenges
Allen's rookie season was marked by highs and lows, including a notorious exchange with cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who famously labeled him "trash" before they faced off. However, after leading the Bills to a narrow victory over the Jaguars, Allen began to silence his critics.
Despite struggles with accuracy and turnovers, his determination saw him improve significantly in 2019. Allen led the Bills to the playoffs, further solidifying his position as the starting quarterback moving forward. His collaboration with star wide receiver Stefon Diggs transformed his performance, culminating in a remarkable 2020 season where he threw for over 4,500 yards and accounted for 45 total touchdowns.
