Dolphins safety, ex-Bill Jordan Poyer calls Josh Allen ‘best quarterback in the league’

It should come as no surprise that Poyer calls Allen “the best quarterback in the league.” He’s spent the last six seasons with the QB, watching him grow from a questioned rookie to undeniably one of the top talents at the position. Still, Poyer is sure to be criticized by his new teammates and the South Beach media for his comment. The veteran’s acknowledgment that his quote “could go viral” is a nod that it’s all in the game.

After making an All-Pro and a Pro Bowl during his seven years in Buffalo, Poyer joins Tua Tagovailoa and a revamped defense in Miami. Like Buffalo, the Dolphins are trying to overcome the playoff hurdle in an AFC dominated by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Remaining in the division, Poyer will face Allen and the Bills twice, including in Week 2 in Miami, Week 1 Thursday Night Football showdown on Prime Video this season.

“It was definitely surreal,” Poyer said of returning to Buffalo this weekend, via the Buffalo News. “I didn’t know what to expect coming here today, but Bills Mafia showed up like always. It was really really cool to see the support from the fans here. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later, so it was just fun to come here and support Micah.”
