For Josh Allen, becoming a dad is the ultimate touchdown.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback—whose wife Hailee Steinfeld is pregnant with their first baby together—weighed in on how he’s approaching the off season, where he’ll have to balance training and navigating parenthood for the first time.

“I’ve known this from well in advance,” he told 13WHAM during a Jan. 29 Bills press conference. “I’ve got siblings that have kids, and I’ve got a lot of friends who have kids. I don’t know if you can plan too far in advance.”

The 29-year-old went on to share how excited he is to become a father and stressed that dad duties will overtake his other responsibilities for the time being.

“I’m very much looking forward to that with my wife of becoming a dad,” he said. “It’s something that I will take with great pride, and we’re going to have to figure out things on the go just like anything else.”

“This is the most important thing I’ll ever be in my life, is being a dad,” Josh continued. “I love being a football player, and I love being a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, but I’m looking forward to this one.”

And it seems as though his teammates understand that, as the NFL star had previously expressed his gratitude for how supportive they were after he and Hailee announced that they were expecting.

“28 was wild, beautiful, humbling, and full of the kind of moments that sneak up and change you quietly,” she wrote at the time. “This year, I’ve been reminded of how precious life is.”

The Sinners actress had previously shared how much her life has changed for the better since Josh came into it.

“That inner peace that you have, that rock, that solid, consistent part of your life is indescribable,” she told Bustle in November. “I literally thank God every day that I found my person, and it’s the greatest thing in the world. Life makes sense. Everything makes sense. I feel like I am stepping into the version that I’ve always dreamed of being, having so much to do with being with him.”
