Dave-Te' Thomas called Josh Allen of Wyoming his "Cream of the Crop" of QBs prior to 2018 NFL Draft. He never thought Allen would be the first QB drafted, but how he could perform the best over the long run. Baker Mayfield went #1 to CLE, Sam Darnold #3 to NYJ, Allen #7 to BUF.
Listen to just a few of his comments from a March 2018 Scout's Honor podcast where Thomas explained why Allen would be a risk coming from the program at Wyoming, but also how Allen had an "It" factor.
In the end Thomas said he felt Allen would be a Blake Bortles at worst, but at best another Jim Kelly.
