NFL star Josh Allen has established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL at present. The 27-year-old star has been achieving new heights in the league with his performance. However, he’s not the only Allen in the league who has become popular. Zach Allen is yet another star player and fans often wonder if the two Allens are connected or not.
Both Zach Allen and Josh Allen are great in their respective positions. While Josh plays as a QB for the Buffalo Bills, Zach is with the Denver Broncos as a defensive end. It’s worth noting that other than their surname, the players don’t share anything else in common.
This further means that the quarterback and the defensive end are not personally related. The only connection that the two players share is the NFL, and that they are powerful athletes.
A look at the lifestyle of Josh Allen
Born in May 1996, Josh Allen has been dedicated to football since his childhood. The 237 lb player was born to Joe Allen and Lavonne Allen.

Other than Jason, the Madden 24 cover star has two sisters, Nicala Allen, and Makenna Allen. It’s worth noting that Makenna is also a talented athlete like Josh Allen. She’s the youngest of all the Allen siblings and plays basketball and volleyball.
The 6-foot-5 QB has been making all of his family members proud with his gameplay in the NFL. The Buffalo Bills selected him as their 7th pick in the 1st round. Since then, the 2-time Pro Bowl has completed 1,732 of his 2,741 passing attempts. He has recorded 149 TDs and 65 interceptions for 19,804 passing yards in his 6-year NFL career. For now, the NFL star has been giving his best to lead his team to the Super Bowl this season.
Tracing the lifestyle of Zach Allen
Zach Allen is a year younger than Josh Allen and was born in August 1997. The 6-foot-4 defensive end was born in Connecticut, unlike Josh who was born in California. There’s not much information available about the parents and siblings of the Denver Broncos star. However, he’s happy with his lovely girlfriend Molly McKenzie.
The 281 lb athlete attended the New Canaan High School before going to Boston College. He entered the NFL in 2019 with the Arizona Cardinals. The team selected him as their 65th pick in the 3rd round of the NFL draft. 26-year-old Zach was with the Cardinals till last year and joined the Broncos this year.
Throughout his 5-year career in the league, Zach has recorded 138 tackles and 11.5 sacks. The star player also has 3 fumble recoveries, 1 interception, 15 pass deflections, and 1 defensive touchdown. It’s worth noting that the Broncos star hasn’t yet been able to gain as much popularity as Josh Allen.
All in all, both Josh and Zack Allen have made a great name in the NFL. However, while the Bills star has been impressive, the defensive end is yet to have an amazing year. Now, it’ll be interesting to see if any of them can lead their team to the Super Bowl this season or not.
