On Thursday, new Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs still expressed some excitement about his new team. During a live stream, Diggs was very complimentary of his new quarterback, Josh Allen.
“I think he a baller, I think he’s a dog, too,” Diggs said.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen is still jazzed up about his team’s trade for wide receiver Stefon Diggs too, and returned the compliments this week despite the initial shock of the trade wearing off.
“I’m still pumped about it. I am still floating on cloud nine. I just can’t wait to work with him,” Allen told SiriusXM’s MadDog Radio. “We’ve been staying in contact and trying to devise a plan to get together. The things he can do on a football field are unbelievable – the route-running, the way he can make contested catches. I’ve talked to him on the phone a couple of times and [it’s great to see] just how cool of a dude he seems. He’s going to mesh in very well with our wide receiver group. He’s going to mesh well within our locker room.”
Some may worry with Diggs’ past, he might not sit well in Buffalo for long. With the Vikings, he became expendable because of off-field issues with the team. The Bills still paid a premium price for the two-time 1,000-yard receiver though, and we won’t know for years how things will pan out, but it appears Diggs is already trying to build a solid foundation with his new quarterback.
Unfortunately for Allen and Diggs, it’ll be unclear as to when the two will be able to start working with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. But it sounds like as soon as the new teammates get the green light, they’ll be meeting up.
