Bufallo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is known for his amazing mobility and speed. Recently he was seen at a charity softball event at Sahlen Field, home of the Buffalo Bisons, the Triple-A affiliate for the Toronto Blue Jays.
The event held a home-run hitting contest where Allen participated. The defending home run derby champion launched a couple of humongous shots that cleared a fence in the left field more than 400 ft. away. One of them even flew straight out of the park near a road behind the stadium.
MLB's official Twitter page posted a video showing Allen's towering shots.

Fans had a field day discussing Allen's hits. Some were of the opinion that he should officially quit football and play baseball, and that he's a perfect fit for some MLB teams.
Levity aside, it's now time for Allen to get back to preparations for the 2023 NFL season. Especially after the disappointing loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the playoffs last campaign.
Josh Allen's postseason performances in the NFL
Josh Allen was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft.
In the last five seasons, he has led the team into five playoff appearances. He has a postseason career record of 4-4, but is yet to make it to the Super Bowl. His only shot at the AFC Championship ended in a loss and the Bills are hoping to go all the way in the upcoming season.
At 26, Allen has bagged the title of a two-time Pro Bowler and a second-team All-Pro. While personal accolades are important, Allen and the Bills will be hoping to bring the Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo in February 2024.
