The Facts: In a league defined by constant turnover, Allen has been afforded the rare opportunity of having the same group of key decision-makers surrounding him. "It creates a very good space," Allen said, via the team's official site.

Diehards Line:Since selecting Allen in the first round of the 2018 draft, the Bills have kept the same head coach, offensive coordinator and general manager in place. They've meticulously built their team around him, adding a major piece in Stefon Diggs, who helped launch them to new heights in 2020. With Brian Daboll sticking around after an offseason in which he became a hot name following Allen's breakout season, the Bills are ready to run it back in 2021. Allen is well aware of his good fortune when it comes to organizational stability. "Just being able to talk with guys in a very comfortable fashion, being in the same system now going on the fourth year and having that rapport that I have with Daboll and (quarterbacks) Coach (Ken) Dorsey and really understanding our offense in and out and being able to relay that to my teammates," Allen acknowledged. This stability and consistency shined through in 2020, when Allen and Daboll teamed up to help Buffalo post a 13-3 record while finishing second in points per game, tied for second in total yards per game and third in passing yards per game. Buffalo responded in kind this offseason, picking up Allen's fifth-year option with the goal of striking a long-term deal. So far, the process has proved bountiful for Allen. The next stage of it arrives this fall.
