20 Incredible Josh Allen Stats on His 28th Birthday

Buffalo Bills franchise quarterback Josh Allen turns 28 today. As a gift to Bills Mafia, we’ve put together 20 incredible stats that paint an effective picture of just how extraordinary the caller is.

1: 3rd in franchise passing yards

Allen has already moved into third place on Buffalo’s all-time passing yards list with 22,703 yards, behind Jim Kelly (35,467) and Joe Ferguson (27,590). The Bills have been on the field for 64 professional seasons; Allen has only played in six of them, and he’s already third in passing yards. It’s rather good.

2: 3rd in franchise passing touchdowns

The quarterback also ranks third in franchise history in passing touchdowns with 167, behind Kelly (237) and Ferguson (181). He’s only 14 years away from matching Ferguson, and he’ll likely do so midway through the 2024 campaign. It probably won’t be long before he usurps Kelly.

3: 7th in franchise rushing yards

Allen’s power and ability as a runner is what makes the signal-caller as dynamic of a player; he totaled 3,611 yards during his six years in Buffalo, which is already the seventh most in franchise history. He’s just 239 yards away from cracking the top five and likely will do so early next season. He needs to reach 5,647 career rushing yards to usurp Fred Jackson as the team’s third all-time leading rusher – that doesn’t seem like a possibility, but an inevitability.
