Taking F1 Star Daniel Ricciardo On The Field At First NFL Game With Josh Allen! | Buffalo Bills

Love that Daniel’s a Bills fan

As both a Bills and McLaren fan (and a fellow Daniel) this is the crossover I never knew I needed.

Though it is kinda unfortunate they didn’t get him for a home game. Would have loved for him to experience the full force of Bills Mafia.

This dudes a walking legend

Daniel is simply a cool, nice guy. To think of the “night-and-day” difference of seeing him here, …being open, humble and cordial, …to the incredible intensity of driving an F-1 car, and the level of skill AND risk that racing involves, is an huge contrast!

I love this. Danny Ric has the prefect personality for Bills Mafia. He should come to a home game next time.

The honey badger was nice enough to sign my Bills jersey at the Canada Grand Prix. Hope to see you back on the grid soon. Home game is a must and don’t forget your table. Go Bills!!!

Gotta get him to a home game. Love that he was chanting GO BILLS in Hard Rock pre the Miami GP this year

He needs a home game, awesome experience though I’m sure.

He’s so down to earth

The smile on his face is so genuine, I love it!

As a Bills fan and a big F1 fan… this is so cool. We need to get Danny and Fitz together for a game and do shoyes together!!!

Danny is so awesome I love him on pmt he does great interviews and the fact that he was so excited was awesome. Bills played like trash tho

He has to come to a home game.

7:15 minutes of Danny just being a fan girl

Its fascinating how foreigners can’t throw but they can catch with two hands every time. Allen wasn’t throwing complete soft balls to him.

Where did Daniel get that blue jacket from it’s so awesome!

True story. I remember walking into a bar in Oregon with my wife, maybe a decade ago — probably longer ago than that — on a Friday or Saturday. I think we were making our first trip with a UHaul to California. Anyways I look up at the TV and there’s a game on. The QB drops back into the end zone and under a heavy blitz he throws off his back foot to midfield, completing a perfect pass. Yes that’s around 55 yards. Without stepping into his throw. So I said, “Wow. He’s a REALLY great passer for a college quarterback.” Turns out it was Matt Barkley from Mater Dei High School I believe. But it was one of the best throws I’ve ever seen a high school QB ever make. But when I saw Matt come into the picture here I had that flashback. (I watched Matt a couple times when he was at USC. I think he had a shoulder injury that derailed him a bit. But he was slated to go one as a junior but decided to return to college as a senior instead, from memory.)

You can really tell here that Josh changed his throwing motion and hand position from college just watching him play catch here. His motion is a bit smoother and he, like a lot of other NFL QBs — Aaron Rodgers come to mind — flatten out their right hand so it’s almost parallel with the ground. I think it’s influenced by an ex-NFL QB who’s become a QB coach, maybe Carson Palmer? But if Josh let it loose at 62 MPH Daniel would probably let it fly right by. But I think it lengthens the release a hair but maybe makes a QB more consistently accurate and maybe allows for a higher spin rate on a spiral. It would be interesting to talk to go back, watch Josh’ throwing motion in college, then compare it to now. It also would be interesting asking Josh about it though.

He played a bit of Aussie rules when he was a kid. That’s why he can catch and kick.

Woulda been sick to see JA17 do a shoeie that week…
