Stefon Diggs leaves no doubt on how he feels toward the Buffalo Bills just days before Week 5 clash

"Me being there before obviously people are going to make that a huge thing and it is a huge thing for me," Diggs added. "I got a lot of respect and I got a lot of love for that city and that fan base and even the players over there [ . . . ] It's going to be so nice to see those guys for me. I try to be as professional, obviously I hold them near and dear to my heart. Football means a lot to me, and the guys that I spent a lot of time over there, I'm going to give them a big hug."

Diggs' career in Buffalo was electric

In 2020, the Buffalo Bills acquired Diggs and a seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2020 first-round pick, a 2020 fifth-round pick, a 2020 sixth-round pick, and a 2021 fourth-round pick. It was a monster trade for the Bills, and during his four years in Buffalo, Diggs was beyond elite.

In four years, Diggs started 65 games for the Bills and totaled 445 receptions for 5,372 yards and 37 touchdowns. The joke among the Bills Mafia whenever Diggs would score was "17++14=6" with just how effective quarterback Josh Allen was with his number one receiver.

However, the new offense led by an 'everybody eats' mantra could've been one of the reasons why Diggs wanted out of Buffalo, and was so vocal about wanting to be traded away. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady has unlocked something special in the offense with his new game plan that's been a part of the team's identity since he took over as offensive coordinator in 2023.

Allen and head coach Sean McDermott , along with offensive lineman Dion Dawkins, had all shed light on the receiver's return to Orchard Park, New York, ahead of the Week 5 game. The sentiment was the same for all parties; it's all love. Now, that's not to say that Diggs won't get his fair share of boos in the contest, as Bills Mafia still remembers his bitter exit just a few short years ago

Nevertheless, it's an emotional reunion for Diggs as the Patriots are going to try and come into Western New York and walk out with a victory, something that's been increasingly difficult for teams to do over the past few seasons.

All eyes will be on Diggs when he takes the field at Highmark Stadium. Whether he's met with cheers or boos, one thing is certain: his return to Buffalo will be one of the most emotional storylines of Week 5.
