Sensing a Super Bowl window opening up for them, the Houston Texans front office made a major all-in move this offseason, trading three draft picks to the Buffalo Bills for star wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Now they might very well have the best wide receiver room in the NFL.
Talented as Diggs is, the trade was a risky move, which is partially why they re-negotiated his contract after the deal was made. Like many of the best players at his position, Diggs has a bit of a reputation as a diva, but he's not sweating that accusation.
Here's how Diggs responded when he was asked about the diva allegations at OTAs a couple of weeks ago.
Stefon Diggs was asked how he deals with some people labeling him as a diva:

This is the exact right kind of energy and a sign that the whole label is overblown. On the field, Diggs is arguably the sharpest route runner in the league and the most-consistent producer at his postiion not counting Mike Evans of the Buccaneers. He has posted at least 1,000 receiving yards six straight seasons.
