What happened: Good Morning Football highlighted the poll on Wednesday during its offseason coverage. Reacting directly to the evaluation on the broadcast, Hall of Fame passer Jim Kelly summarized his perspective with a brief quote: "Josh is Josh...that's what he does."

Why it matters: The recognition reinforces broader analyst consensus entering the 2026 offseason, arriving ten days after Josh Allen earned the number one position in Pro Football Focus quarterback rankings ahead of the upcoming season. He also secured the first-overall spot in Chris Simms' June evaluations, illustrating steady confidence in his ability to steer Buffalo through a competitive AFC slate as the franchise opens the new Highmark Stadium this fall.

What to watch: Buffalo will begin on-field preparations for the 2026 schedule when veterans report to training camp later this month.
