I’m not sure if Stefon has played the Ravens before, but I wonder if he’s extra motivated to have a big game against the Ravens for not taking him in the draft?

I’m not sure if Stefon has played the Ravens before, but I wonder if he’s extra motivated to have a big game against the Ravens for not taking him in the draft? Diggs is super competitive to begin with but the greats (i.e. Michael Jordan) often carry that extra chip of their shoulder. Hope I’m not wrong but I think the Bills’ overall competitiveness (including Allen & Diggs) is what might carry them to victory tomorrow. 4

WhoTom Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Well, I'm certainly glad the Ravens didn't draft him. Now that he's here, I think Diggs feels the same. Josh grew up as a Niners fan and played college ball a couple of hours from Denver. When asked how he felt about both those teams passing on him, he simply responded, "I'm where I'm supposed to be."

SoCal Deek Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 That same thing is true of every mother in America whether their kid plays in the NFL or not.
TUBSTER Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 In the GQ interview he did he made it seem like he wasn't mad at any team or player drafted ahead of him. Instead of seeing it as a sign of disrespect he saw it as he hadn't done enough to show them why he was the best receiver in that class. That kind of attitude can't be taught and is a crazy motivator. I don't think Diggs will play any different on Saturday than he would if it were a game against any other opponent.
msw2112 Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 I agree that Diggs is a super competitive guy and I don't think he needs any extra motivation to play well. He's motivated to win a playoff game, regardless of the opponent. I also don't think that extra motivation is as effective (on game day) for skill position players as it is for guys who block, tackle and hit. A skill position player who is over hyped might be more inclined to make a mistake - drop a pass, overthrow a receiver, etc., whereas a guy in the trenches may play better (hit harder, etc.) when playing angry. Aside from game day - practice, weight room, studying the playbook, etc., I think that extra motivation benefits all players the same.

He was asked about this and He said that he isn’t. He said he doesn’t care about that stuff and is motivated by winning. He said maybe when he was younger it might have motivated him more, but not now. 1

His protege Eric DeCosta ain’t half-bad, either. One thing I say is that (except for WR), the Ravens normally draft very well. Sergio Kindle excluded!

billsbackto81 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Blessing in disguise Mrs. Diggs. Stefon would have never developed into the WR he is today with Flacco or Jackson at QB. 2
