The new Houston Texans wide receiver is ready to show critics how ready he is to compete this season.
Stefon Diggs is ready and confident to play for a chance to capture his first Super Bowl ring despite the critics who may be coming after him.after spending four years with the Buffalo Bills. While his debut with the Texans is highly anticipated, there are definitely still doubters out there who don't believe Diggs and the team can succeed in the postseason.
“I love the noise,” Diggs said. “Push me in the corner, I’m gonna show you my best s---. I’m a person that enjoys being doubted. I enjoy proving people wrong, but also, I enjoy doing it for myself. Everything I say I am, I am. I’m standing true to it. And every time I prove myself right, everybody disappears. I like when they get quiet.”
The receiver is coming off four consecutive Pro Bowl bids in Buffalo. He caught 107 passes for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns last season. The Bills lost in the divisional round to the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. It was the fourth year in a row in which Diggs failed to reach a Super Bowl with the Bills.
