Josh Allen was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2018. On the eve of the NFL draft, Allen, a potential number one overall draft pick, was ensnared in a controversy when offensive posts he had made on Twitter (now X) while in high school came to light. In several of the posts Allen had used the n-word. He apologized, telling ESPN he was “young and dumb” when he made the racist comments. Allen was ultimately chosen as the seventh overall pick by the Bills.
