3 players that will heavily benefit from Josh Allen's presence in 2024
Some players in the NFL are so good that they make every player around them better. Whether it is because of their talent, leadership, or helping the overall team morale. Josh Allen is one of those rare players who has those characteristics. Allen is a down-to-earth, goofy guy that players see whenever he isn't in "game mode", and has become more vocal in practice this offseason.
With a little bit of a newer roster, Allen would have to take the next step and form a relationship with the new guys, and so far it seemed to help as the new players around him boasted about Allen's talent and character. These are the players that will benefit the most from Allen's presence during the 2024 season.
Keon Coleman
Few rookies are fortunate enough to start their career with a quarterback as good as Allen. Some don't develop because of how poorly their starting quarterback is.
Allen is the perfect quarterback for Coleman, as he is a bit of a raw prospect that needs developing. The best way to excel Coleman to his full potential is to put him in the best situation. So far in camp, Allen and Coleman have been forming their on-field chemistry exceptionally well.
Another reason why Coleman will benefit from Allen is from his character alone. Coleman is also a person who is rather goofy off the field, and Coleman admitted that Allen was goofier than him, but both can flick that switch when it comes to game time.
Dalton Kincaid
Kincaid is going into his second year as a pro, and now he should excel after an impressive rookie season. He and Allen seem to have the most chemistry out of every player, as they've been impressive during camp.
Kincaid seems to be much faster and making more highlight plays, which is exciting to see as a Bills fan. With Stefon Diggs gone as well, Kincaid will be Allen's number-one target and arguably benefit even more from Allen compared to last year.
Curtis Samuel
It's predictable to have all three of these guys as weapons on offense, as they all benefit from Allen. However, Samuel may arguably benefit the most out of these players.
For Samuel's whole career, the only good quarterback he's had was Cam Newton for about two years, and that's counting Samuel's injury-riddled rookie season. Besides Newton, he's had Kyle Allen, Teddy Bridgewater, Taylor Heinicke, Carson Wentz, and Sam Howell as his starting quarterbacks, who aren't exactly elite.
Samuel is an underrated weapon, and he couldn't use his full potential. He is versatile who can run fast, catch, and line up anywhere on the field. Now that he's on the Bills with Allen and could be one of Allen's top receivers, he can wind up having a career year.
