Diggs finished as the receiving yards leader in 2021 with 1,535 receiving yards and 8 receiving touchdowns. The experienced NFL wideout had 127 receptions in 16 games for the Bills. But what does the future hold for the former Maryland man?

They outplayed the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens to seal a spot in the AFC Championship Game alongside Kansas City Chiefs. The Bills suffered a tragic 38-24 loss as they bowed out before reaching the Super Bowl, yet again.

The highly rated wide receiver will enter his second full season with Buffalo in 2021. The Bills have brought in QB Mitchell Trubisky, WR Emmanuel Sanders, and RB Matt Breida in free agency to strengthen their offense.
