Could a tremendous season land Allen additional hardware?
Getting married and winning the NFL MVP. How can things get better for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen? Perhaps by winning two awards at the 2025 ESPY awards, as Allen has been nominated in the categories of Best Male Athlete and Best NFL Player.
Allen is coming off a 2024 NFL season where he had 3,731 passing yards with 28 touchdowns and only six interceptions. That’s only half of the Allen experience however as he added 531 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns.
Winning the Best Male Athlete won’t be easy for Allen because he’s the only entrant who didn’t win his sport’s championship in 2024. Other nominees include Saquon Barkley, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Shohei Ohtani.
The same can be said for the Best NFL Player as yes Allen won the MVP, but other nominee Lamar Jackson was voted a First-Team All-Pro this past season. Barkley set tons of records on his way to a Super Bowl win and offensive player of the year, while Patrick Surtain II was the defensive player of the year.
Do you think Allen has a chance at either of these awards?
