Josh Allen expected to join Broncos before drafting by Bills
Summary

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen disclosed that he believed he would be selected by the Denver Broncos, who held the No. 5 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Allen recalled a text from the Broncos’ quarterback coach expressing hope that Allen would be available for their selection. Instead, Denver opted for pass rusher Bradley Chubb. Allen has since become a pivotal player for the Bills, and he will face off against the Broncos on Christmas Day this year, a rematch of their previous playoff encounter. Allen joked that he reminds former Broncos executive John Elway about his draft decision whenever they meet.
