Stefon Diggs needs no introduction. The 5th round pick from the 2015 NFL draft quickly rose to fame with the Vikings who signed him right out of Maryland. After spending 5 years in Minnesota, he was traded to the Bills in 2020 where he broke Eric Moulds‘ franchise record for receiving yards in a season. Diggs led all NFL receivers in 2020 with 127 receptions and 1,535 receiving yards in his first year with the Bills.

The bond and chemistry between Diggs and his QB Josh Allen are known to everybody in the league. Emmanuel Sanders, former WR for the Bills shared a lovely anecdote from his time in the Bills’ locker room that perfectly depicts the relationship between Diggs and Allen. “Josh Allen loves Stefon Diggs,” Sanders said. “Not just on the football field but off the football field. The chemistry they have off the field translates on the field. When I go to Josh’s locker, Josh has a shrine of Diggs. Then you go to Diggs’ locker and Diggs has a shrine of Josh. I’m happy those guys are going to be together for a while.”

Just a few weeks back, Trevon Diggs, brother of Stefon Diggs and cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys tried to recruit him to Dallas. “Ive always wanted to play on the same team as my brother,” Trevon noted in a series of March 28, 2022 tweets. “14 to dallas would be ?.” Josh Allen didn’t waste any time and responded in two simple words, “NO”. This goes to show the bond the two share and how it has improved their gameplay on the field.

It’ll be a treat to watch Diggs and Allen wreak havoc on the oppositions’ defense in 2022 and in years to come!
