BREAKING: Enigmatic and seemingly self-absorbed Stefon Diggs forced Buffalo Bills’ hand” with his…
When asked the hypothetical question, wide receiver Stefon Diggs might respond that he has been preparing for his big break ever since he was a teenager and the NFL took up all of his attention. Indeed, Diggs succeeded in making it happen, presumably inspired by the lessons he received from his parents. His father’s experience guided him and acted as a consoling and focused surrogate following his death when Stefon was hardly a teenager.
Along the way, Diggs manifested greatness within himself to such a degree that he became one of the most talented receivers in the NFL, capable of playing anywhere and against anyone. The brand was established. “I am Him” was born. But was it all too much to bear for a Bills team that prioritized him in the 2020 NFL Draft, leveraging what was necessary to pull off a trade that ultimately paired him with an ascending quarterback in Josh Allen? At first blush, not a bit. Diggs became one of the central figures in Buffalo’s NFL resurgence.
That is, until situations that similarly plagued his career with the Minnesota Vikings and made him expendable to begin with began to surface with the Bills. Now, the name Stefon Diggs has created a new legend for its namesake: an oft-traded and widely discontent NFL superstar constantly in search of what’s next, what’s best. For Diggs.
As the trade to send Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans unfolded over the phone in March of 2023, it’s easy to imagine general manager Brandon Beane having uttered “Houston, we have a problem.”
And then with that, suddenly, Diggs was gone.
Yet here we find ourselves, Diggs and his Bills tenure are both once again back in the national spotlight — this time the subject of a featured interview with Clay Skipper that published September 3 through GQ Sports. Intentional or not, Diggs makes himself easy NFL editorial fodder — especially when he opens his mouth.
That’s never been more true than now, with him being given an extensive podium with a significant publication. When it comes to comments from Stefon Diggs, even peripheral attention from a half-tuned-in audience piques like accident gawkers in rush-hour traffic. And this GQ content? It’s a chaotic wreck.
