Jessica Pegula Reveals Why She’d Train $70M Bills Star Josh Allen in Tennis
WTA star Jessica Pegula, an avid Buffalo Bills fan and daughter of the team’s owners, recently opened up about why she would love to coach Bills quarterback Josh Allen in tennis. Despite their different sports, Pegula believes Allen’s athleticism and competitive mindset could translate well onto the tennis court.
In a recent interview, Pegula playfully discussed the idea, highlighting Allen’s raw power and movement as key traits that could make him a solid player.
“Josh is obviously an incredible athlete. He’s got the strength, he’s got the footwork—he just needs a little finesse,” Pegula joked. “I think with some training, he could have a pretty solid serve. And if he brings that competitive edge from football, he’d be a tough opponent.”
Allen’s Tennis Potential: Strength Meets Precision
With a $70 million salary and a reputation for being one of the NFL’s most dynamic quarterbacks, Allen is no stranger to high-pressure moments. Pegula believes that his arm strength and agility—which help him evade defenders on the field—could also translate into powerful groundstrokes and net play in tennis.
While Allen is yet to take up Pegula on her offer, the idea of seeing the Bills’ superstar trade his football for a tennis racket is an intriguing one. With Pegula as his coach, who knows? Maybe a Josh Allen vs. Pegula exhibition match could be in the cards someday!
