Bills Josh Allen says 'best version of himself' is still ahead

Bills QB Josh Allen is a former NFL MVP with multiple AFC Championship Game appearances, who is knocking on the door of making a Super Bowl berth with Buffalo , and telling reporters he thinks he can still be better. He's also a new father. While speaking with the media Monday at One Bills Drive during the team's voluntary veteran minicamp, Allen shared a "change in perspective" he's experienced since he and wife Hailee Steinfeld welcomed their first child, a daughter, earlier in April.

"I'm very excited," Allen said. "I do feel this is going to be the best version of myself. " This is good news, since he's returning from a foot bone removal procedure following a painful January divisional-round playoff exit in Denver.

Allen, who turns 30 next month, was asked whether becoming a father would soften the edge that turned him into a franchise quarterback and league MVP. "The want to win will never change," Allen said while crediting Steinfeld for handling things so he could be with the team. "The why I want to do it has.

So why I want to do it: to show my family, to show my daughter how hard you need to work to accomplish something so great. And as long as I play this game, that's gonna be my mindset. " GM Brandon Beane has spent the last two months responding to areas of roster need.
