With the NFL offseason still ongoing, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen took a trip to Toronto on Monday, stopping at the Rogers Centre, visiting with the Blue Jays, and taking a little batting practice.

The Blue Jays tweeted out the video, saying that he homered four times:

Looks like a fairly powerful swing from Allen, who does a good job getting his hands through the zone. He could use a little more torque on the back foot, but not bad for a guy who doesn't do it regularly.

He looks like he'd be a lock to be a stud in someone's beer league softball league.

He also delivered some words to the Blue Jays fans upon arrival:

"What's up, Blue Jays fans? Josh Allen with the Bills here, with the quarterbacks here in Toronto, taking some batting practice. Matt Barkley, home run champion, he hit five out..."

It certainly makes sense that Allen and Bills players would make a pilgrimage to Toronto. The two cities are not far apart, the Bills used to play regular season games in Toronto, and the Blue Jays played home games in Buffalo during the COVID season of 2020 and a portion of 2021 before they were allowed to return to Canada.

While Allen looks good with a bat in his hand, he shouldn't quit his day job. One of the best quarterbacks in the league, the Bills won the AFC East in 2022. Allen is a two-time Pro Bowl selection and was named 2nd-Team All-Pro in 2020.

The Blue Jays are hosting the Yankees on Monday at 7:07 p.m. ET.
