The Facts: Allen is only in his second offseason as a full-time pro, and it's definitely not like the other. As framed and reported by The MMQB's Albert Breer, Allen's approach has been as much about building relationships as it has been about the on-field work. He began his quarantine in California's Orange County, where he'd been training with fellow NFLers like Sam Darnold and Kyle Allen, and where he was able to get some work in with Bills rookies Zack Moss and Isaiah Hodgins. The real get-together occurred in Miami, where Allen and nearly 20 skill players from the Bills -- including new receiver Stefon Diggs -- gathered for four days of quality time.

Diehards Line: The extended weekend together included training at Pete Bommarito's renowned facility, dinner at the Versace Mansion along Ocean Drive, hours of late-night card games at the hotel, more workouts and a round of golf at Melreese Country Club. There was work, there was play, and most importantly, there was a sense of normalcy in a time seemingly devoid of it. "Just trying to get on the same page, just trying to see where everybody is at," Allen said. "I think it gave guys a chance to be like, 'OK, he knows the playbook really well, let me talk to him.' Or in other cases, 'He knows how to run routes really well, let me talk to him,' and Stefon [Diggs] and John [Brown] and Cole [Beasley] were very informative to the younger guys, showing them what works for them, how to run routes. It was a great time." This offseason will finish without any league-sanctioned in-person activities, something we haven't been able to say since 2011. That year, football's arrival depended solely on the ability to negotiate labor peace. It's not exactly possible to negotiate with an ongoing pandemic.
