New father Josh Allen hoping 'dad strength kicks in' as he turns 30 Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills quarterback and new father, reflected on how becoming a parent has shifted his priorities while maintaining his competitive drive. Allen, whose wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld, gave birth to their daughter earlier this month, emphasized that his desire to win remains unchanged, though his motivation has evolved. "The why I want to do it has changed," Allen said in an interview with the Associated Press. "Now it's to show my family, especially my daughter, how hard you need to work to accomplish something great. As long as I play this game, that's going to be my mindset." Allen, set to turn 30 in a month, expressed confidence that his athletic performance would continue to improve beyond his current age. "I'm not too sure on the science of the athletic peak of a male, but I think it's slightly beyond 30. And then hopefully the dad strength kicks in, right?" he joked, acknowledging the physical and mental adjustments required as he transitions into fatherhood. The past year has been transformative for Allen, marked by both personal and professional changes. In addition to becoming a father, he navigated significant shifts within the Bills organization. Head coach Sean McDermott was fired this offseason, and offensive coordinator Joe Brady was promoted to replace him. Allen, who underwent surgery to remove a broken bone in his right foot earlier this year, has been attending voluntary workouts to support Brady’s efforts to establish a new coaching philosophy. "I wanted to make sure my presence is felt here and relay what Joe has in store for us," Allen said. "It's a new message, new vibe, new guys. And it's been a good change.#buffalo_bills #josh_allen #hailee_steinfeld #joe_bradley #sean_mcdermott
