Former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin names Josh Allen as preferred quarterback

Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin identified Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen as the player he would most want to coach if he returned to the sidelines. During an appearance on the Pro Football Focus NFL Show, the 54-year-old analyst for NBC’s Football Night in America highlighted Allen’s ability to perform in critical game moments. Tomlin noted that Allen demonstrates the ability to succeed through both passing and rushing, characterizing the quarterback as a competitor who appears built for pressure. Since stepping down from his long-term role in Pittsburgh, Tomlin has transitioned into the broadcast booth, offering insights into the league from a new vantage point. While the former head coach currently serves in a media role, his public comments focused on the specific traits that make the Buffalo signal-caller a standout talent in the NFL today.
