Allen has been nothing but impressive, reminding everyone why he was ranked No. 1 on several quarterback lists before the season. In just two outings, he has already thrown for 582 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
On FOX Sports, Rob Gronkowski hailed the 30-year-old quarterback by saying it is “impossible to prepare” for him because of his all-around acumen. Julian Edelman echoed the remark, adding a bold comparison.

“What you just said right there is something that a lot of people don’t always say (about Allen), but they say a lot about Lamar Jackson,” said Edelman.

“It’s hard to prepare for Josh Allen because when you see him in real life, he’s bigger than what you think, he’s faster than what you think, and the ball comes off his arm quicker than you like to think. It’s harder to prepare for that.”
Gronkowski added that Allen is a “great pocket passer as well,” underscoring his admiration for the former MVP’s versatile game.
Gronkowski and Edelman know exactly how much easier everything becomes when playing with a great quarterback, having won three titles with Tom Brady on the New England Patriots.

“It’s hard to prepare for these guys because you don’t have someone who can run and who’s that fast. You can’t feel the speed. The same’s got to be said about Josh Allen,” stressed Edelman.
