Josh Allen Reveals He Teases Former Broncos GM Over 2018 Draft Snub
World Sports · 01:13:59 - Monday, 9 November 2026

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has disclosed that he repeatedly needles the former Denver Broncos general manager whenever the two cross paths, a habit stemming from the team's decision to pass on him in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Allen, selected seventh overall by the Bills after the Broncos chose another player with the fifth pick, said the snub still motivates him. The former Broncos GM, who led Denver's front office at the time, has since left the organization.

According to Allen, the playful ribbing occurs each time they meet, serving as a reminder of the draft-day decision that shaped both of their careers.
