Quarterback Josh Allen made a young Buffalo Bills fan’s day with a little help from her older brother at training camp Wednesday. 

As the Bills were closing out the first day of training camp, Allen headed towards the locker room before he was commandeered by a young fan, who called out to him. 

The fan grabbed his attention by yelling, ‘Josh, I have a question!’   

Allen, 27, presuming the youngster wanted an autograph made his way over but the young boy opted to forgo the quarterback’s signature in favor of a heartwarming gesture. 

He instead had a sweet request for his sister, who appeared to be a Josh Allen super fan.

‘Josh, my sister loves you,’ the fan began. ‘Can you please hug her or something? She’s over there in the bucket hat. She’s literally crying.’

Allen, offering the boy a grin at the touching request, checked, ‘In the bucket hat?’ The boy confirmed, adding, ‘She loves you!’ 

The NFL star then made his way over to the gaggle of admirers clamoring for his autograph, signing a couple, before spotting the boy’s sister. 

The young girl, already in a frenzy of excitement, looked stunned as Allen leaned in to give her an embrace. 

‘Oh my God!’ she exclaimed, as she burst into tears. 

Meanwhile, it appears to be Happy Families in the Bills’ camp as well. Allen previously backed teammate Stefon Diggs after he missed a day of practice earlier this summer.

‘I love him. That’s my guy,’ Allen said on an appearance on the ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast earlier this month. 

‘The media has blown this so far out of proportion. Like we are in rookie camp or minicamp. We’re not playing a game for four months. He doesn’t show up for one day.’

‘He’s still there you know, coach asked him to go home. We were in talks and discussions of trying to resolve some things and it wasn’t anything major.

‘And media blew it up. They’re still talking about it. Let it go. There’s no reason to continue talking about it. He’s on the field with us the next day. It was not a big deal.’

Diggs touched upon the subject Wednesday, saying whatever offseason drama occurred when the Bills’ top receiving threat skipped voluntary spring practices and posted cryptic messages on social media about his future in Buffalo was aired out last month during a meeting with coach Sean McDermott.

Without going into detail, he said he was pleased simply to raise his concerns, which stemmed from frustrations over how the three-time defending AFC East champions´ season ended with yet another playoff dud.

‘Everything that needed to be said was said, and we talked it out as men. Everybody involved,’ Diggs said. ‘It´s all water under the bridge and now we´re back to work.’

Diggs referred to the issues as ‘family matters,’ which he preferred keeping in-house, and said he was focused on winning a Super Bowl entering his ninth NFL season and fourth in Buffalo.
