Former NFL MVP Josh Allen is locked into Super Bowl 60Â and has finally revealed which team he will be rooting for, and it may not be who you expect.
The Buffalo Bills quarterback spoke out on rooting for his boy in the Super Bowl, and to the surprise of many, he is not talking about his former Bills teammate Stefon Diggs.
What Did Bills QB Josh Allen Reveal About Who He Is Rooting for in Super Bowl 60?
Allen recently appeared on the television program “First Things First,” and during the show he was asked whom he is rooting for in Super Bowl 60. His answer may surprise some.
“Sam Darnold, that’s my boy,” Allen said.
Allen was quick to point out how close he and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Darnold are, noting how far back they go. Allen and Darnold were both a part of the 2018 NFL draft class.
“Like, we go back to the draft. Even before the draft, we’ve hung out before the draft when we were in college. We met at some Touchdown, I think it was the Touchdown Club of Columbus, going into our draft, his sophomore year, my junior year. And like I said, we live pretty close together. We spent a lot of time in the offseason together playing golf and hanging out. So I’m rooting for my man there, No. 14 for the Seahawks.” Allen explained.
Allen was drafted seventh overall out of Wyoming in 2018, while Darnold was considered the higher-touted quarterback prospect in that same draft. He was selected third overall out of USC.

Allen has been considered the steal of the draft for many years. However, Darnold is now the first quarterback selected in 2018 to reach the Super Bowl. An impressive feat for a class that saw Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson selected alongside Allen and Darnold. Darnold will also become the first quarterback in USC’s rich history to start in a Super Bowl.
Allen made it clear he would be rooting for his fellow quarterback, Darnold, from the same draft class, expressing his feelings for his friend. But what may be even more interesting is Allen’s reluctance to mention Diggs, his former teammate with the Bills from 2020 to 2023. Could it be because of the supposed sour ending between Diggs and the Bills? Or is Allen simply rooting for his friend rather than the New England Patriots, a division rival?
Diggs will be playing in his first Super Bowl of his 11-year career, while Allen has yet to reach the big game in his eight-year career.
For whatever reason, Allen has made it clear that his fandom lies with his boy Darnold and the Seahawks as they seek revenge for Super Bowl 49 in Santa Clara for Super Bowl 60.
