Bills’ Josh Allen: ‘I do stand with the black community’
‘“I’ve never been pulled over and I’ve feared for my life,” Allen said. “I think that’s a horrible thing that many people of color have to go through.

But I feel good with where I’m at right now and I’m still going to continue to work on it and try to continue to get better with what I’m working on right now.”’
