BREAKING: NFL general manager Made Shocking admission on Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen
The 2024 NFL Draft has concluded, and during draft season, it’s safe to assume that countless mock drafts flooded the internet. Indeed, millions upon millions of these speculative drafts likely circulated, with some enthusiasts already delving into projections for the 2025 NFL Draft, where defensive players might take center stage.
Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane offered some intriguing insights into the mock draft phenomenon, revealing an amusing anecdote during a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. Beane disclosed that star QB Josh Allen is an avid fan of mock drafts and even recounted a humorous incident where Allen himself jokingly mocked Keon Coleman to the team, only for the Bills to end up selecting Coleman in reality.

This anecdote humanizes professional athletes, showcasing that they too engage in the same fan-driven speculation that surrounds the draft process. This is particularly fitting for a quarterback like Allen, who relies heavily on talented weapons. The Bills’ wide receiver corps underwent changes this offseason, with notable departures such as Stefon Diggs (traded to the Houston Texans) and Gabe Davis (signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars).
Stories like these provide a glimpse behind the curtain of the secretive scouting process that NFL teams undertake during the draft season. It raises intriguing questions about Allen’s potential future involvement in an NFL front office post-retirement. If he’s unable to lead the Bills to a Super Bowl title as a quarterback, perhaps a career as a future general manager awaits him.
As for other NFL quarterbacks who enjoy mock drafts, only time will reveal their drafting inclinations. Ultimately, the success of the Buffalo Bills’ 2024 NFL Draft class will determine if they’ve successfully reshaped their roster for the better.
