Diggs was one of our most successful draft picks ever when you consider where he was picked, what he did for the franchise and what we got in return for him, which ended up being JJ. He played with a lot of passion and commitment which was something that had been missing from the teams he played on. No coincidence he forced his trade after the Cousins extension as he didn't think he was being utilized properly and that it was not going to get any better in the current offense. He went to Buffalo and to a much more open passing offense and he proved he was right as he was arguably the best WR in the NFL that season. He continues to thrive in Buffalo and was on the verge of a Super Bowl last year if his defense could have held for 13 seconds.
It is one of the few trades in which both teams won, the Bills are a team I root for as long as they are not playing the Vikes, so I am ecstatic in the way it turned out. They are both elite players and I do not feel the need to compare the two, but to just respect and admire what they are both doing with their game. Diggs will always have a special place for me as the underdog 5th round pick who made it big time and who made the greatest play in Viking history.
