How does Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen stack up against the best players in the NFL who are 30 years old and over?
Allen is a do-it-all QB who is capable of throwing for 4,000 yards and rushing better than all of his peers at the position (save Lamar Jackson). He has an MVP award under his belt from the 2024 season and is widely regarded as one of, if not the best quarterbacks in the league.
So where does the generational talent rank among the seasoned veterans in the league who have already seen the age of 30?
CBS Sports recognized Allen as being the best player in the NFL who is 30 or over.
“Even though Stafford has the most recent MVP, Josh Allen currently holds the belt as the NFL's top quarterback. The Bills quarterback is a force both through the air and as a runner, totaling 39 touchdowns (25 passing and 14 rushing) during the 2025 regular season. He's entering his ninth season in the NFL and already has the most total touchdowns (301) in a player's first nine seasons in NFL history.”
Allen is still in the midst of his prime with the versatility to continue his stretch of dominance for years to come.
Winning a Super Bowl is the final accomplishment that he needs to cement himself as an all-time great player in NFL history. For now, he is the guy to dethrone among those within the age range in question.
Bills Wire will continue to provide updates throughout the 2026 NFL season.
