Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is not only a force to be reckoned with on the football field, but he’s also making a name for himself in other sports. During the Century Championship Notebook celebrity golf tournament, Allen showcased his athletic abilities by sinking a half-court shot on a basketball hoop set up at the 17th hole.
Known for his versatility as a quarterback who can both pass and run with ease, Allen has also proven himself to be a skilled golfer. He has been a regular participant in celebrity golf events, even opting to skip the Pro Bowl in favor of competing in tournaments like the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. This year’s Century Championship Notebook saw Allen team up with notable figures such as Tony Romo and John Elway.
The 17th hole at the tournament is famous for its basketball hoop, and Allen couldn’t resist the challenge after being urged on by fans who pointed out that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had already made a shot. Stepping up to the makeshift half-court line, Allen confidently released the ball, and to the delight of the crowd, it swooshed through the net.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time a Bills quarterback has made waves with their basketball skills at the Century Championship Notebook. Back in 2016, Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had moved on from the Bills to play for the New York Jets, also impressed spectators with a long shot.
Aside from golf and basketball, Allen has proven his prowess in other sports as well. Earlier this year, he participated in teammate Micah Hyde’s charity softball tournament and showcased his power at the plate during the home run derby. While he fell short of winning the title this year, Allen has consistently impressed with his batting skills in previous tournaments.
Allen’s love for golf stems from the personal challenge it presents, constantly pushing him to surpass his best score. He finds solace in the game, relishing the opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature. For him, golf is a mental battle that fuels his desire to improve.
With his remarkable performance on the golf course, basketball court, and even the softball field, Josh Allen continues to captivate fans with his diverse athletic talents. As he excels in various sports beyond football, he proves that his abilities truly know no bounds. Fans eagerly await his future endeavors and the incredible feats he’s yet to accomplish.
