Even though he’s gone from the Buffalo Bills after seven years, Jordan Poyer still holds quarterback Josh Allen in high esteem.
Poyer returned to Buffalo on May 19 to compete in former teammate Micah Hyde’s charity softball game, then took the opportunity to address the crowd. While sharing his appreciation for the fans that supported him during his seven seasons in Buffalo, the Miami Dolphins safety made a claim about Allen that he admitted could come off as a bit controversial.
“I loved every moment of it,” Poyer said of his time with the Bills. “Sorry we couldn’t get it done, but you’ve got the best quarterback in the league. I know that might go viral, but that’s OK.”
Jordan Poyer’s New Allegiance
While Poyer has never been shy about expressing his appreciation for Allen, the claim drew some attention as Poyer now plays with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
“Not Jordan Poyer having Tua as his QB now but still saying Josh Allen [is] the best QB in the league,” one fan wrote on.
With so much change on the roster and the coaching staff this offseason, expectations are a little lower heading into this season than we’ve seen in the last few years. Roster turnover happens every year, but fans are a little less confident this year given the talent that is no longer here. Specifically Stefon Diggs, Jordan Poyer, and potentially Micah Hyde. These three players have been mainstays for several years.
