Broncos linebacker Von Miller thinks Bills quarterback Josh Allen and legendary running back Bo Jackson have something in common.

And we assure you, there is no typo in the sentence above.

The face of the Denver defense spoke to members of the Western New York media on Thursday. While doing so, he said exactly that.

The dual-threat quarterback reminds Miller of Jackson when he’s running and using his arms to shed defenders.

“He can escape the pocket, and it’s a challenge to get him down in the open field. He’s 6-7. He’s got a mean stiff-arm like Bo Jackson,” Miller said. “He does, though — he’s got a stiff arm like Bo Jackson.”

Miller never got a chance to try and tackle Jackson. Maybe Allen will be the closest thing for him. The Bills will want to prevent that on Sunday when Miller and the Broncos visit New Era Field.

While discussing Allen’s athleticism, Miller had some more serious-sounding praise of the QB. The oft-criticism with Allen is that he runs too much, or doesn’t throw enough. There’s nothing wrong with that, says Miller. Being able to do both is the key.

“He’s the future of great quarterbacks for this league,” Miller said.

But Allen might have to face the reality of meeting Miller up close and personal. Miller will match up with rookie Cody Ford at right tackle. Ty Nsekhe’s ankle injury will keep him out of the game since Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott labeled him “week to week.”

According to Pro Football Focus, Ford has had a tough start to his career.

Ford’s overall grade from PFF is a 53.7 this season, landing in the outlet’s “below average” category. On the flip side, Nsekhe has steadily improved via PFF’s grades this year and ranks as an “above average” lineman with a mark of 67.3.

Despite that, Allen’s confident in his fellow youthful teammate in the Bills offense.

“We trust him. I trust him,” Allen said.
