Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has become the first signal-caller selected in the standout 2018 NFL Draft class to win a Super Bowl title, per @AdamSchefter. Allen led the Bills to a historic victory in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, marking a career-defining moment for the veteran passer.
The 2018 draft class featured five quarterbacks taken in the first round: Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, and Lamar Jackson. While the group has combined for multiple MVP awards and Pro Bowl selections, Allen is the first to reach the summit and secure a championship ring as a starting quarterback. This achievement comes after years of deep playoff runs and high-level competition within the AFC.
Allen’s path to the title has been closely watched as he competed against fellow 2018 draftees for supremacy in the conference. By securing this win, Allen officially separates himself from his draft peers in the championship column. The victory also marks the first Super Bowl title in the history of the Buffalo Bills franchise, ending decades of anticipation for the organization.
