ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – NFL MVP Josh Allen offered a reminder that his quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry could play some ball too.
“He’s one of the greats to ever do it. I don’t think people understand who R.C. was and still is. He’s a true athlete,” Allen said of Curry. “He’s a special human being on top of that. He’s got a huge heart and we love having him here in Buffalo.”
Curry, who joined the Buffalo Bills’ coaching staff prior to Allen’s MVP season, has seen the star signal caller pick up this season where he left off in 2024.
“I think he’s just mastered the process,” Curry said of Allen. “He’s been A-1 decision making. He really is that guy.”
That guy of course is Allen, who has been lighting up the NFL for years now, even before Curry arrived to become part of No. 17’s success.
“For him to get that [MVP)] award is most deserving and he probably should’ve got it a couple times by now, but for him to finally close the door on that, close that chapter and continue to move forward toward winning a Super Bowl,” Curry said.
He has a unique understanding of what it takes to play at a high level. Curry was one of the nation’s most-heralded recruits coming off a legendary high school career in Virginia that saw him earn accolades as national player of the year in both football and basketball.
At the University of North Carolina, he was both a starting quarterback on the gridiron and a starting point guard for the Tar Heels basketball team.
He then spent seven years in the NFL as a wide receiver for the Raiders.
