Allen has made his way to Buffalo and received his new jersey and held a press conference so after all of that, here is the essential Josh Allen NFL Draft reading from this past weekend to keep you updated on the start of his professional career.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Allen to start 3rd on Bills depth chart<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I expect him to move to second upon first completed pass &#8230; Josh Allen to begin as third QB <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qnZm2vTUqf\">https:\/\/t.co\/qnZm2vTUqf<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BillsMafia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BillsMafia<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Todd Clausen (@ToddJClausen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ToddJClausen\/status\/990968836055855104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 30, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This should come as no surprise. Allen will start behind free agent signing A.J. McCarron and second-year player Nathan Peterman in his quest to become the Buffalo Bills starter. How quickly he rises will depend on learning the Bills offensive system and his consistency. It&#8217;s likely he will not win the starting job out of training camp but I would expect him to become the starter at some point in the season.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Josh Allen&#8217;s new number is his old number<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Josh Allen will wear #17.
