The presence of Bills' pillar and NFL MVP Josh Allen continues to grow, this time with a new venture off the field that will make him even more visible. Allen has penned a deal with Skydance Sports that will have Allen participate in scripted, unscripted, and branded content with the company.
Much like Peyton Manning's "Omaha Productions," Allen will not have the opportunity to grow a media presence off the field.
“Josh has quickly made a name for himself as one of the most exciting and skilled players in the NFL,” said Jason Reed, head of Skydance Sports. “Not only is he a uniquely talented player, he is an amazing human being. His vision, determination, and creativity make him a force off the field as well as on, and we are thrilled to be partnering with him as be builds his business outside of the game.”
Allen issues a statement regarding his new deal.
“I’m excited to partner with a world class organization like Skydance Sports to further my creative ambitions through storytelling,” Allen said. “Utilizing my platform to do good and be good is very important to me, and Skydance is an excellent partner, who can help me achieve this goal, through the creation of compelling content that aims to inspire.”
If it sounds familiar, it should. "Do good, be good" was part of the quarterback's NFL MVP acceptance speech.
As of now, there are no details in terms of what specific productions could be in line for Allen, but as he continues to use his platform to inspire others, you can fully expect the content to achieve, and spread, his mission of "do good, be good."
NFL players have had plenty of success in recent years expanding into media. NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan have their show "Bussin with the Boys" as a part of Barstool Sports, the Kelce brothers have their multimedia platform "New Heights," and the Mannings are seemingly everywhere. Still in the height of his career, Allen's new venture will give him a platform that allows for plenty of creativity and inspiration off the field.
Philadelphia Eagles extension for star running back Saquon Barkley is really bad news for the Buffalo Bills
