The crowd was loud as players ran onto the field before practice. After practice, several players including quarterback Josh Allen stopped and signed autographs for dozens of fans.
12-year-old Sophia of Lakeview, N.Y. may have had the best day of them all because her brother helped get Allen to give her a hug and an autograph.
"I don’t even remember honestly that ever happened," said Sophia. "I love him so much."
Sophia's parents said it was their goal for the day to get something with Allen because Sophia has been asking for two years now.
"Mission accomplished! Thank you, Josh," her parents said. Sophia's brother was too busy caring for his sister, he said he forgot to get an autograph.
Other Bills fans were also trying to meet Allen, including Carter from West Seneca who turns 7 years old this week. Carter brought Reese's Pieces to training camp and held a sign that said "Hey Josh, it's my 7th bday I will trade you Reese's Pieces for your autograph!"
Fans traveled from all over the state and even the country, just to see their team and be with fellow members of Bills Mafia.
