Quarterback Josh Allen has revealed the most memorable autograph request he has ever received from an NFL fan.

The Buffalo Bills star recalled the time a supporter asked him to sign a piece of paper – so he could get it inked on to his skin.

‘This guy said he had a tattoo of my number on his back, and I was thinking it was going to be small,’ Allen told People.

‘And it was literally the full length of his neck down to his hips… so I signed a piece of paper and he got it tattooed right above the number.’

Allen, who recently announced his engagement to actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld, currently wears No 17 on his jersey.

He narrowly missed out on leading the Bills to this year’s Super Bowl after Buffalo was beaten by the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game.

Last weekend, during the NFL offseason, Allen took part in Aaron Rodgers’ annual charity flag football tournament in California.

The quarterback, who won the MVP Award for the 2024 season, recently upped his salary from $258million to $330million thanks to a new deal.

Of his $330m salary, he’ll have $250m guaranteed – exactly $100m more in guaranteed money compared to his old contract.

But he didn’t demand a record contract for a quarterback, insisting: ‘It’s weird to say this, but what’s five (million) more going to do for my life that I can’t already do right now?

‘It’s not that crazy to me. I live a pretty good life. Got a house, got a car, we’re good. But I wasn’t looking to absolutely kill them in every chance that I could.

‘And I told my agent that. I was like, “Hey, if this has any… impact on the cap let’s figure out a way to not do that.” So again, both sides were willing to move and change different things.

‘And it was a pretty calm mannered negotiation I can say, at least what I can hear on both sides. So it was good.’
