“He wishes in the worst way that he could be here, but he’s in his season right now,” Josh Allen’s mother, Lavonne, said via a FOX 26 News report. “We’re here representing him, and we could not be more honored. I’m sure we’ll call him right after and give him all the low-down. We sometimes forget who he is and what he is to everybody else. He’s still our son.”
“Surreal,” Joel Allen said via the report. “Unbelievable. I went to high school here back in 1982, and for it to come around full-circle is a dream come true. Josh has blessed everyone in this community with his talents, and we’re here to enjoy it.”
