Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is one of a kind. 

His combination of arm strength, elusiveness, running ability, and size make him a true unicorn at the position.

General manager Brandon Beane spoke with Tyler Dunne of GoLong to discuss a variety of topics, including his superstar quarterback.

"He's a linebacker playing quarterback," Beane said. "That's his mentality. You don't want to strip him completely of that."

It seemed that for the first half of the season, the Bills were trying to keep Allen at bay when it came to running the ball. Once Joe Brady took over as offensive coordinator, the Bills seemed to lean back into allowing Allen to be Allen and be a freight train under center. 

The star quarterback finished the season with 15 rushing touchdowns and 524 yards on the ground. His rushing yardage was the lowest its been since 2020. But with a full season with Brady as offensive coordinator, expect those numbers to rise.
