2018 NFL Draft Bills trade up again land LB Tremaine Edmunds

The top-ranked quarterback in the 2018 National Football League draft, Josh Allen, has apologized after a series of now-deleted old tweets containing racial slurs and more offensive language were uncovered on his Twitter. Yahoo's story about the tweets did not include screengrabs; when I saw the story the tweets had been deleted from Allen's account but the way they remained on Yahoo were in the format of tweets that existed when the post was published but were deleted afterwards. Most of the tweets were from 2012 and 2013.

Beyond the troubling nature of the comments themselves, one ESPN journalist has hinted at a more Machiavellian element to the timing of their release.

Josh Allen had to apologize after a series of offensive tweets from his past resurfaced online in what should be a lesson to any and all future draft prospects.

Sufficiently enough, perhaps, that he will slip a little further down the draft, and into the grasp of an organisation incapable of claiming Allen via traditional means.

To this point, Allen had been considered a first-round lock and a possible target of the Cleveland Browns, who own the first and fourth overall picks of the draft.

After being asked "Why are you so white?"

"He wanted to talk to me about it, he wanted to explain". "He recognizes that it was irresponsible for him to do the things that he did". Allen attributed the language to "youth". Him and his friends playing around, saying stuff like this.

At least one of his tweets, which allegedly said "if it ain't white, it ain't right", was taken from the ABC show Modern Family. He ended his career there with 44 passing touchdown and 12 rushing touchdowns. He threw for 5,066 yards in three seasons.
