Training camp for the 32 NFL franchises started last week, and Buffalo Bills All-Pro quarterback Josh Allen already received praise from fans.

On Tuesday, a video was posted on social media of the reigning NFL MVP greeting fans and signing autographs at the team's training camp at St. John’s Fisher University in Pittsford, New York. In the clip, the 29-year-old signs the backs of a few children’s jerseys before removing his hat and shaking hands with multiple members of the U.S. military.

“Oh my God, thank you so much,” one of the female service members said after receiving Allen’s signature.

“He’s Such a Class Act”

“You gotta love Josh,” one fan commented. “You just gotta ❤️.”

“Such a great guy and class act ❤️🤍💙 Love QB1,” another shared.

“He is such a class act,” another wrote.

“That’s called respect, ladies and gentlemen,” one fan commented.

“👏👏👏,” another shared.

“Another reason why Josh Allen is the man,” another wrote. “I say this as a NY Giants fan. I have so much respect and admiration for how he conducts himself.”

Allen has become one of the most popular quarterbacks in the NFL. His jersey is currently No. 6 in sales, ahead of other stars like Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings), Micah Parsons (Dallas Cowboys), Amon-Ra St. Brown (Detroit Lions) and Aidan Hutchinson (Lions), according to the NFLPA.

Allen is a three-time Pro Bowler and was named second-team All-Pro for the second time last season. He is the only player to amass more than 40 total touchdowns (passing and scoring combined) in five consecutive seasons and the only quarterback to rush for six touchdowns in seven straight seasons.

Last season, Allen passed for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns, rushed for 531 yards and 12 touchdowns and also had a receiving TD. He led Buffalo to a 13-4 record and its fifth straight AFC East title.
