When Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen entered the league in 2018, he was a raw prospect with a high upside. The tools were in place, but the mechanics weren’t where they needed to be.

Throughout his first few seasons, especially once the Bills traded for Stefon Diggs, there was a massive uptick in how others viewed the former Wyoming Cowboys quarterback. His mechanics were more refined, and his game was among some of the top quarterbacks in the league.

Then, in the last two seasons, Allen has blossomed into arguably one of the top three signal-callers in the league, continuously ranking among MVP-caliber quarterbacks.

However, after suffering injuries in his throwing shoulder and elbow, his throwing mechanics are back in the realm of discussion.

Josh Allen’s throwing-arm injuries provide obstables heading into 2024 season

After one of Buffalo’s mandatory minicamp practices, Allen met with the media to discuss the progress he’s made since injuring his throwing arm.

“I wouldn’t call it a complete overhaul of my throwing motion, but definitely some things to work on and clean up, especially with getting long with my arm and with my stride,” said Allen. “Anytime you go through something like that, sometimes it’s going to feel really good, and sometimes it’s not going to feel really good. But as long as you’re trusting it and keep working on it each and every day, results will come.”

Something Allen noticed last year following the injuries was that pain in his throwing arm forced his arm to naturally dip, resulting in lower, wider throwing motions. At the NFL level, things like that show up on tape during the offseason and now’s the time to address it in preparation for next season.

As mentioned previously, Allen came into the pros with a rather unimpressive throwing motion, but that just goes to show how he’s been able to improve since being drafted.

Now, the Bills are going through a roster change, especially at wide receiver, losing Diggs and Gabriel Davis in the offseason. However, Khalil Shakir is more than capable of receiving more targets. On top of that, with the addition of FSU’s Keon Coleman in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Bills are far from being in receiver purgatory.

While Josh Allen’s throwing motion is back in the lab following the injuries from last season, Bills fans shouldn’t be too concerned about his recovery. The type of doctors and technology NFL teams have access to to combat these scenarios are seemingly unlimited.

There’s plenty of time until the Bills face off against other NFL teams, and Buffalo will likely be just fine.
