They are two of the best young quarterbacks in football, men with athleticism and rare arm strength, to boot.
As such, there’s no wonder Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have gone back and forth a bit over the past few months about which player has the stronger arm, with the decision by the “Madden” team to give Allen the slight edge in arm strength, 99 to 97, in the latest version of the popular video game series.
So when I caught up with Allen in August for a story exploring the addition of Stefon Diggs and why I thought it would help the Bills win the AFC East, I couldn’t help but ask him where he stood on some sort of throw-off with Mahomes — for charity, of course — so the matter can be laid to rest.
