As the Buffalo Bills embark on another season of high expectations and playoff aspirations, the absence of star wide receiver Stefon Diggs during training camp has not gone unnoticed.
While Diggs’ absence from the team has triggered concerns, Allen remains confident in his ability to hit the ground running once the regular season begins.
Allen doesn’t want to dwell on the past, and he instead focuses on the strengths of his offensive team this year. When asked if he has missed Diggs during practices in training camp, he admitted that “miss” might not be the right word.
“Stef’s a great player, and what he brought to this team was special,” Allen said on Wednesday. “Miss? I don’t know if I’d say miss. He was a guy that was reliable, you can look to, he’s going to have the juice every day. I’m sure he’s bringing it every day in Houston. So definitely. You can’t say you don’t miss that. But I’m very happy with what we have going on here and how hard the guys have been working.”
In all four years that Allen and Diggs played together, Diggs was Allen’s top receiver. Diggs tallied over 1,000 yards and was named to the Pro Bowl in each of the four seasons.
While Diggs’ absence from the team may be noted, Allen’s confidence and eagerness speak volumes about how he is prepared towards the start of the season.
