Josh Allen, Von Miller 'Welcome' PGA Star Rory McIlroy to Bills Mafia

Rory McIlroy, a two-time PGA Championship winner, announced his allegiance to the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday. He said he hadn't met Josh Allen yet, but just finally got his chance.

A multi-sport offseason continues for the Buffalo Bills. Whether it's receiver Stefon Diggs going viral for his basketball skills or quarterback Josh Allen smashing home runs with MLB players, the stars of Orchard Park are doing it all.

Allen, in particular, has been spending tons of time on the golf course, and did so once again Wednesday. He was joined by linebacker Von Miller as the duo took to the PGA Championship in Rochester, N.Y. and paid a visit with golf star Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy, a two-time PGA Championship winner, also announced his allegiance to Bills Mafia on Tuesday. He said he hadn't met Allen yet, but finally got his chance.

"It certainly makes it easier to root for the Bills when Josh Allen's throwing the football," he said.

An amateur golfer and big fan of the sport, Allen was likely just as geeked. Along with meeting Tiger Woods earlier this offseason, Allen competed in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am against current and former big-name athletes, including New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Others notable names included former All-Pro receiver Larry Fitzgerald, Washington Commanders coach Ron Rivera, international soccer star Gareth Bale, former MLB MVP Buster Posey and NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young.

Allen loves the game so much that he even skipped out on the Pro Bowl Games in Las Vegas to prepare for the event.
