Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen returned to the team facility last week to start offseason exercises with a shaggy look and a vow to improve next season.
One of those things is already gone.
Allen showed off a drastically new look on January 15, getting some viral attention for the change in his appearance since he first arrived in Buffalo the previous week. Many fans took to X to show off the quarterback’s different look and share hope that it might be a good sign for the upcoming season.
Josh Allen’s Trim
As Buffalo’s WYRK reported, Allen appeared in need of a haircut when he showed up to the team facility for voluntary workouts on January 9th. He sported longer, flowing hair than he had in previous seasons, a look that some fans compared to teammate Dawson Knox.
But Allen’s look changed this week, with barber Jesse Salvatore Ciffa taking to his Instagram page on Wednesday to share some pictures and video of Allen’s haircut and beard trim.
“MVP season coming for QB1,” one person commented.
Bills fans have shared similar reactions to other players who showed off new looks, including the triangle haircut that edge rusher Von Miller showed off last year and Cole Beasley’s decision to cut off his long hair and show off a “boy band” look in 2024.
After the last Bills season ended in disappointment with a resounding loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the divisional round of the playoffs, Allen has returned for offseason workouts with a laser focus on the next year.
“I think at this point, in my life, I’ve never been as focused or locked in in football as I am right now,” Allen said, via the team’s website. “I’m very excited and looking forward to getting here with the guys, building that team camaraderie, having guys over, and just doing that piece of it. Because I think that’s such a huge piece of it — when you’re able to trust teammates inside and outside the facility.”
