Josh Allen, the talented quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, recently opened up about how comments made by golfer Scottie Scheffler resonated with him. Scheffler emphasized the significance of finding fulfillment beyond athletic accolades, a sentiment that spoke volumes to Allen.

In conversation with CBS Sports’ Evan Washburn, Allen conveyed that the relentless pursuit of accomplishments can sometimes overshadow what truly matters in life.

Allen on Fulfillment

“It’s maddening, but at the same time, it helps put things in perspective about what matters in your life.”
“Scottie Scheffler had that really good interview before The Open that spoke a lot to me, and I really appreciate him sharing those words.”

Allen shared how he strives to focus on the aspects of life off the field, like his recent marriage to Hailee Steinfeld, while still maintaining a fierce drive to excel in football. He believes this balance allows athletes to perform more freely, alleviating the pressure of outcomes in games.

He concluded by highlighting that the desire to be great doesn’t negate the need for personal fulfillment and understanding what is genuinely important.
