A lot of talk has been made about how unhappy Stefon Diggs was in Buffalo and Minnesota, but ESPN’s Dan Graziano debunked the idea that Diggs, who was just dealt to the Houston Texans, was a troublemaker in the Bills’ locker room.
“In spite of anything he might have said on social media, and any conversations he might have had with the coaches and storming out of minicamp and all that kind of stuff, Diggs was not a disruptive locker room presence,” Graziano told ABC13.com of Diggs.
He was not a problem with teammates or anything of the kind, but he would make it obvious to the coaching staff that he’d like to do more. Therefore, I believe that whatever worries Texans supporters may have are generally exaggerated.”
Despite the obvious controversy, Diggs and Bills quarterback Josh Allen were a powerful combination.
Few were riskier than the combination, even in moments of annoyance.
Diggs played for four seasons with Buffalo, where he caught 445 passes for 5,372 yards and 37 scores.
Though they were a Super Bowl contender, Buffalo was unable to overcome their setback.
In three of Diggs’ four seasons, the Chiefs of Kansas City eliminated the Bills from the postseason; the other defeat came at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals. Diggs became frustrated by his constant inadequacies, as any athlete would.
Diggs lived in Minnesota for five seasons before that. In three of those seasons, the Vikings qualified for the NFL Playoffs.
His “Minneapolis Miracle” to startle the New Orleans Saints stands as the most memorable moment.
After leaving Minnesota, Diggs caught 365 passes for 4,623 yards and 30 touchdowns.
Diggs is moving to Houston now, where he will be a part of an offense led by quarterback C.J. Stroud that may be explosive.
with the expectation that the “fireworks” are more about output than feeling. Diggs, who finished the season with 107 receptions for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns, is still among the league’s top receivers.
