These are five current Buffalo Bills with the best chance to make the Hall of Fame.
This weekend is the unofficial start of the season with the Hall of Fame Game, which is the first preseason game of the season, and the induction of the current class of Hall of Famers. This year, they will be inducting the 2020 and 2021 classes due to last year’s ceremony being canceled due to the pandemic.
While the Buffalo Bills don’t have any players in either class being inducted, it raises the question about who currently on the team is on a Hall of Fame trajectory? When considering how young this team is, there is certainly more projection and uncertainty. While there is plenty that can change between now and when they retire, these are five current members of the Buffalo Bills who are in a great position.
Josh Allen
At the top of the list has to be Josh Allen, especially with the season he had this past season. The Bills drafted Allen seventh overall in the 2018 NFL Draft and stepped into the starting role almost immediately.
While there were growing pains, the one positive was that the Bills quarterback was continually improving. This is one of the reasons that Allen has one of the best chances to make the Hall of Fame.
Last year, Allen threw for over 4,500 passing yards with 37 passing touchdowns, eight rushing touchdowns, and one receiving touchdown. He was named to his first Pro Bowl and finished as runner-up in the MVP voting.
If Allen hopes to make it into the Hall of Fame he will need to continue this level of production for a number of years. It won’t only be stats as Allen will need to have league awards like MVPs, All-Pro selections, and Pro Bowls along with a Super Bowl win, which seems to be critical for quarterbacks to make the Hall of Fame.
