There are few fanbases that fit together better with their star player than the Buffalo Bills' faithful and Josh Allen.
The MVP quarterback feels like he was built to be a member of Bills Mafia himself.
Time and again, Allen proves that he belongs in western New York, in moments on the field and off.
The most recent feel-good scene came Tuesday at Bills training camp at St. John Fisher University outside of Rochester.
Allen often signs autographs after practice, just for kids. And he took part in that same routine on a hot Tuesday.
A local reporter, Thad Brown, caught video of Allen leaving the fans with a big wave, but then something caught his attention. One fan who hadn't gotten an Allen signature was in tears.
Allen couldn't have that. He jogged back over and, as Brown put it, signed 30 more autographs.

But saw a young girl in tears because she had barely missed out on his signature.
He had to go back. Gave her a hug.

That's superhero behavior.

Allen dons a cape on the field, of course, hurdling and stiff-arming defenders and then unleashing the most magnificent of touchdown throws.
But it's in these small moments where Allen makes lifelong Bills fans. And really, they're lifelong Allen fans.
No one in these modern times is universally beloved. But in Bills country, Allen is universally beloved. He's special, and he belongs to the people of these local communities that proudly cheer on the Bills.
This won't be the last example of that, either.
