“Everything,” Diggs said when asked what being named a team captain meant to him. “At this point in my career. Obviously, the past couple of years, I’ve been a captain. Going to a new team, new scenery, new people and earning the respect of my teammates, my coaches, when I say everything it means everything. I play this sport with a chip on my shoulder every day. I’m trying to play with a lot of patience and work ethic. So, to see them acknowledge that and they respect and appreciate you.
“If you believe in me, then you know me on a personal level because I’m up here, you’re gonna know what kind of man I am. My teammates will say it more than I will. I’m a man of integrity. I’m a man, and I pride myself on the hard work of myself and showing up each and every day.
“He’s family at this point,” Diggs said. “Things kind of fall into place how they’re supposed to. I look at him as family, not just my quarterback. I’m rocking with him through thick and thin. I always tell him I am with you when you’re right, I’m with you when you’re wrong.”, they made a huge adjustment to his contract. They eliminated the final three years of his original four-year, $96 million extension, per a league source. The Texans have now shifted $3.
Diggs isn’t looking backward. He’s facing forward and focused on his next route, his next catch, his next touchdown. “He’s going to do everything he can to prepare himself for game day to make sure he’s in the best spot he can be to go and perform. And he’s ultra-competitive.” And Diggs’ presence and proven game, along with tight end Dalton Schultz and running back Joe Mixon for an offense headlined by Stroud, an NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, gives offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik plenty of ideas for his play-calling strategy this season for the defending AFC South champions.
This followed a previous trade attempt for wide receiver Keenan Allen from general manager Nick Caserio and an inquiry about wide receiver Mike Williams before he was released from the Los Angeles Chargers, according to league sources. The offense is led by Stroud, who joined Tom Brady and Joe Montana last season as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to lead the league in passing yards per contest and touchdown-to-interception ratio.
