A recent ESPN poll of 103 NFL players pegged Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen as the most overrated quarterback in the league.
ESPN released the poll in an article Tuesday. Allen received 11 votes as the most overrated quarterback. Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles was tied with Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa at No. 2, with 10 votes apiece.
Seemingly in response, Allen launched a funny tweet that hints at his thoughts on the poll.
So you’re telling me, I was voted as the #1 … best trash talker??? Let’s goooooo!!! pic.twitter.com/Tlz8M7g195

Apparently, Allen thinks he's just too good at getting underneath opponents' skin.
Why was Allen hit with such a label, you may ask? "Too many turnovers" was the response of one NFC West player, per the article.
Allen has the most turnovers (102) in the NFL since being selected No. 7 overall in 2018 out of Wyoming.
He also has scored 221 touchdowns rushing and passing the ball since that time. The only other quarterback in the NFL with more in the same stretch is none other than Patrick Mahomes.
Allen is undoubtedly one of the NFL's premier quarterbacks. He is not overrated. He is right up there with Mahomes as a clear-cut all-timer with a chance to build upon an already impressive legacy with some success in the postseason.
