I read some comments by Vikings fans after the trade. I know they could be sour grapes because he’s no longer on their team so should be taken with grain of salt.
In response to claims that Diggs was the best route runner in the NFL, they said he wasn’t even the best route runner on his team; Thielen was. They also mentioned if the ball wasn’t going to him, he’d end his routes prematurely.
These Vikings fans also compared Diggs’ attitude, complaining and tweeting to Antonio Brown. Of course, many on here were willing to overlook those characteristics of Brown when trading for him was being discussed.
Despite all of this, I think Diggs should be given a clean slate with the Bills and see how it goes. Hopefully the vets in the locker room will keep him in line and he won’t be a problem. His talents were sorely needed for the Bills’ passing game.
