Josh Allen may have a hard time keeping a low offseason profile from now on.
The Buffalo Bills quarterback, who over the last two seasons has ascended to superstar status as he grew into one of the league’s top quarterbacks, has been attracting more attention for his off-the-field life, including a recent outing that he and girlfriend Brittany Williams had in Los Angeles. The two were spotted on a night out at a West Hollywood restaurant, an outing that came just days after Allen was seen at another high-profile event on the opposite coast.

Allen’s Night out
As TMZ reported, Allen and Williams were photographed on a dinner date to an “L.A. hotspot” this week, with the Bills quarterback ignoring some questions from reporters as they made their way inside.
“The couple was spotted heading into Catch in West Hollywood just after sunset … and the quarterback didn’t seem to have too many cares in the world as he walked into the restaurant next to Brittany Williams,” the report noted, going on to describe their date night outfits in detail.
The report shows that Allen has reached sports celebrity status, which was not a familiar place during his relatively quiet first few years in Buffalo. His difficulty escaping the spotlight was also evident over the weekend, when Allen was spotted at the Masters with friend and former AFC East rival Sam Darnold.
As Audacy’s Jesse Pantuosco noted, this time there were no photos of Allen’s outing.
“If you’re looking for photo evidence of Allen and Darnold walking the grounds at Augusta, you won’t find any,” Pantuosco wrote. “That’s because patrons are required to turn over their phones upon arrival.”
Allen has been a big golf fan, and shortly after the Bills season ended he turned down the chance to be an alternate in the Pro Bowl and instead accepted an invitation to compete in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in his native California.
Allen’s Offseason Starting
Allen, a native of central California, could have some business in Southern California beyond Hollywood outings. He regularly spends offseasons working with former NFL quarterback turned coaching guru Jordan Palmer in Orange County. As ESPN reported, Palmer’s offseason sessions include a number of quarterbacks — including Darnold — and some very candid conversations together about how to improve.
“Honestly, we are super honest about what we talk about and how we say it to each other,” Allen told ESPN back in 2020. “We all feel like we have a good perspective of who everybody is in the room. It’s like we don’t need to hold back.”
Allen has spoken highly of Palmer’s approach, saying he enjoys working with some of his peers around the NFL.
“That is what’s special about what Jordan is doing,” Allen said. “It gets like-minded guys that are going through situations that not many people in the world are going through and puts them in the same room.”
Allen maintains some of the friendships during the offseason. Back in February, he and Williams took a tropical vacation along with some other NFL players.
