Josh Allen Stays Behind to Train While the Bills Vacation to Reset During Bye Week – And the Story of a Rookie Who Warmed His Heart - "You in trouble or something?"
Buffalo, New York
While most of the Buffalo Bills took advantage of their bye week to step away from football — some visiting family, others relaxing on beaches or attending events — the training facility in Orchard Park remained eerily quiet. But amid that silence, Josh Allen still showed up every morning, carrying his backpack, a water bottle, and a thick playbook.
No cameras. No reporters. Just Allen, the weight room, and the familiar thud of a football hitting the net. For him, the bye week wasn’t a time to rest — it was a chance to recalibrate after a pair of tough losses that knocked Buffalo out of the AFC East lead.
Then, one foggy morning, he realized he wasn’t alone. Someone was already there — a young face, earbuds in, quietly running routes, dripping sweat while the rest of the team was miles away.

Allen recalled the moment in a short interview on Tuesday:
“I thought I’d be the only one here, but when I walked in, the lights were already on. He was running routes, throwing the ball against the wall, catching it back like it was a playoff game. I joked, ‘You in trouble or something?’ He laughed and said, ‘No, sir. I just want to earn my chance to play for the Bills someday.’ Hearing that… it made me want to work even harder.”
It was a small moment — but one that reminded Allen, the face of the franchise, that the “Bills Way” isn’t just about talent or fame. It’s about hunger, humility, and heart. While others sought to recharge under the sun, a few chose to stay behind and quietly earn belief through action.
And someday soon, when that young man’s name is called at Highmark Stadium, the crowd may cheer without knowing that his journey began on a misty morning — when only Josh Allen and a spinning football filled the stillness of the bye week.
That rookie was Edefuan Ulofoshio, a young wide receiver selected by Buffalo in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft — and if his work ethic stays true, his moment under the bright lights may not be far away.
