After four seasons playing alongside star quarterback Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs is now with the Houston Texans catching passes from young superstar C.J. Stroud. And it sounds like he’s quite pleased with what he’s seen from the young quarterback as he works on developing a relationship with him.
During his press conference on Monday, Stefon Diggs was asked about the status of his relationship with C.J. Stroud and he did not hold back praise for the young quarterback, saying that Stroud is “special.”
“It’s a work in progress,” Diggs said according to Pro Football Talk. “I’m not going to say everything is perfect, but you see us kind of getting of that same page here and there. And nothing is going to be perfect. I starve for it, we grind for it, but getting on the same page play after play and that communication, that open line of communication, I feel like that’s going to really separate it seeing that we have such a small period of time. But this isn’t my first rodeo and I’m not, by any means, reinventing the well. This is the same football we’ve been playing since we were five.
“And [No.] 7 [Stroud] is special. I think everybody kind of knows that. I must reiterate it though because I’ve seen it firsthand and taking it play after play and building, so it’s a work in progress.”
We’ll have to see how the two of them perform together this upcoming season.
