The draft is the most optimism-inducing event of the offseason calendar, and this year, the Bills have their fill of draft picks. They’ve got eight draft choices, with the potential for two more compensatory picks.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen won the 2024 NFL MVP Award and he thanked many in his acceptance speech. Allen was motivated by teammates and loved ones, but he thanks the fans too. After the speech, Allen went on to thank Bills Mafia personally in a video the team posted to social media.

Roderick Morrow, a Buffalo Bills employee that works in the team's mailroom, said last week he was going to cry if Josh Allen didn't win the NFL MVP award. Allen was named the MVP, and Morrow, nicknamed "Slick Rick," was left crying anyway, thanks to a special shoutout from Allen during his MVP speech.

When Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen won this year's MVP at the NFL Honors last week, fans might have expected the usual suspects mentioned in most sports award speeches: family, friends, God, coaches, teammates, the front office, fellow nominees and so on.

In a major upset, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was named the 2024 NFL MVP in a historically rare victory Thursday night.

A finalist for the fourth time, Allen wins his first NFL MVP award and becomes the first Buffalo Bill to secure the honor in 33 years. Running back Thurman Thomas was the 1991 winner and the late OJ Simpson earned the award in 1973. Both men are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Allen, 28, is the third Bills player to win league MVP, joining Hall of Fame running backs Thurman Thomas (1991) and O.J. Simpson (1973). Bills fullback Cookie Gilchrist (1962) and quarterback Jack Kemp (1965) won league MVP honors during Buffalo's years in the AFL, which merged with the NFL after the 1969 season.

Two-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl winner, Kurt Warner, was very clear about what Josh Allen needs to do next season as the leader of the Buffalo Bills.
