Josh Allen stunned everyone when he hit four home runs during Blue Jays batting practice

Josh Allen Blue Jays Bills Baseball

It’s always fun when professional athletes in one sport give a different sport a try. Often, we get a chance to see how freakishly talented these athletes are in all sports (see: Odell Beckham). But baseball tends to be a sport that humbles even the most elite athletes.

That wasn’t the case for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen on Monday.

Allen was invited to be a guest of the Blue Jays for their game against the Yankees at Rogers Centre. And as part of the visit, they gave Allen an opportunity to take some batting practice at a big-league stadium.

So, what did Allen do? Just hit FOUR home runs like it was no big deal.

Now, Allen clearly has baseball experience as you don’t just show up and hit 400-foot bombs with no practice. In an interview, Allen said that he played travel baseball through high school, but he added that he hadn’t swung a baseball bat in years.

He didn’t look rusty at all. I’m sure he’d like to avoid the Tim Tebow career arc, but if he ever wants to give baseball a try, it looks like an option.

This was how Twitter reacted
