Bills WATCH: Behind-The-Scenes Look at Josh Allen Madden 24 Cover Shoot
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been a busy man this offseason. From golf tournaments, to charity softball and OTAs, one of the NFL's biggest stars has been anywhere and everywhere.
Being officially named the cover athlete of Madden 24 on Wednesday certainly added to his list of activities and celebrity chores, though what he calls "a dream come true" likely doesn't feel like hard work.
To show the fans some of what went into the secret preparation before the actual reveal, the Bills shared a video on Twitter
"Me being on Madden 24 means joining a very exclusive crew that gets to be on the cover of one of the greatest games to come out," Allen said.
Like most football fans have at some point or another, Allen admitted to playing the game as a kid.
"I think learning the game at a young age and using Madden as that platform to understand the rules and the ins and outs of football," Allen said.
Allen also said his favorite cover was on Madden 2003, which featured Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk on the front.
Additionally, the talk of the famed Madden curse was instantly a topic of discussion once everyone found out it was Allen on the cover. However, he turned the playful stigma into something more positive as the Bills shoot for a Super Bowl.
“You can say maybe the Bills have been cursed," he said Thursday at the Madden launch event. "So maybe this is a double curse reversal. That’s the way I’m looking at it.”
It's a safe bet Buffalo won't let a silly curse impact the season, regardless of what happens. But with Allen on the cover, the Bills' championship expectations have certainly risen higher than they already were.
