Cowboy fans have heard good things about UW football in general. Josh Allen, staying one more year - and staying healthy - we expect to rock the Mountain West, and may rock the entire NCAA.

One website projected the Pokes Top 25 for 2017. That's the same site that expected Josh Allen to be the overall third pick in the NFL Draft (before deciding not to go pro).

Josh Allen is now third on a list of the top returning players in all of college football. In 2016 Josh accounted for 3,726 yards of total offense, third best in Cowboys history. More maturation is expected, so maybe number 17 will end up with a new number one record for total yards.

The Touchdown Club of Columbus has named Josh Allen to its “20 Players to Watch” list. They aren't the only ones with the football sense to see in 20 seconds of highlights that Allen's physical tools look flat out imposing.

Josh is called “THE QUARTERBACK NFL TEAMS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR,” and the people at Bleacher Report are surely not the only ones to put it that way.

Just for some perspective on the fast growth of the kid from a California Junior College, in the time since Josh first arrived in Laramie, this YouTube is a reminder of how he looked like a cute teenager over 40 pounds ago.
