Has Josh Allen outgrown the NFL field dimensions?

Recent reports from the NFL combine have confirmed what everyone already knew, Josh Allen is a football playing mutant from another planet. After just one day in Indy, we have discovered that Allen has gigantic hands, 10 1/8” to be exact, while Tiny Josh Rosen (6’4”) only measured in at a mere 9 7/8”. What does all this mean? I don’t know but I sure wouldn’t want to shake his hand!
We also learned from Allen’s combine coach, Ryan Flaherty, that Allen can throw the ball 90 yards down field and can hit speeds of up to 70 MPH!
“Josh Allen has one of the most incredibly gifted arms I’ve seen in my life and I’ve been around a lot of quarterbacks,” Ryan Flaherty, a sports performance coach said of Allen. “He’ll break the record miles per hour here at the combine. He’ll go high 60s. I think the record’s 66 or something. I think he’ll go 69, 70 miles an hour. And just wait until his Pro Day. He’ll throw the ball 89 or 90 yards.”
That’s nothing, I heard he once threw UW-CSU Border War game ball from War Memorial Stadium in Laramie and dropped it in on the 50-yard line of the now defunct Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins.

The ROTC who traditionally run the ball to the Colorado/Wyoming state line stood and stared in awe! This guy is a football playing Randy Johnson/Shaquille O’Neal hybrid, how could the Cleveland Browns pass?
Allen will finally take the field on Saturday to participate in football-related activities like the 40-yard dash and the vertical jump. Early rumors from Indy are that the NFL will open the dome just before Allen’s vertical so that the Colts will not have to pay for unwarranted damage to their roof.
