Josh Allen changed his name to avoid confusion with the other NFL Josh Allen

Jaguars EDGE Josh Allen, also known as the better Josh Allen, changed his name to Josh Hines-Allen today, in an homage to his family and the legacy he wants to upkeep. Hines-Allen talked extensively about following in the footsteps of his sisters and uncles who played basketball both collegiately and professionally, and how much it made him happy to hear his sisters’ names called when they ran out the tunnel. Now, he has the opportunity to do that himself as he gets closer and closer to the Jaguars all-time sack record.

For fans that bought an Allen jersey: don’t fret just yet, because according to Jacksonville Times-Union reporter Demetrius Harvey, Hines-Allen will be hosting an exchange event in September where fans that own the Allen jersey can exchange it for the new Hines-Allen jersey for free. A standup guy, who was always the better Josh Allen.

Pretty cool of Josh Hines-Allen to do that for Jags fans! I'll miss the Josh Allen sacked by Josh Allen jokes.

Since I'm probably literally the only one on Lemmy...

Ahem...
