Wide receiver Stefon Diggs is the trouble topic for the Buffalo Bills this offseason. Former quarterback Robert Griffin III is certain there is a personal issue between the pass receiver and quarterback Josh Allen

The back and forth surrounding wide receiver Stefon Diggs has brought some serious turmoil to the Buffalo Bills’ minicamp. First the pass receiver showed up, then he didn’t show up again. Head coach Sean McDermott expressed “concern,” then everything seemed settled.

Robert Griffin III, ex-quarterback and now NFL analyst for “ESPN”, has now stated that he believes there is a personal issue between Diggs and quarterback Josh Allen.

“He and Josh Allen seemed to have a good friendship – and had for what felt like years. Until there was an issue in the playoff game against the Bengals,” the ex-playmaker said on the “Rich Eisen Show. “

Does Stefon Diggs have a problem with Josh Allen?

“I think it’s clear that this is a personal thing between Josh and Diggs. They need to rebuild their partnership on the field, that’s part of the quarterback game. I think Josh Allen is struggling with that right now,” Griffin pointed out:

“Everything is fine until it’s not fine in a relationship between a quarterback and a wide receiver like Diggs. So Josh has to manage that relationship the right way, and I think he’s the only one who can correct that. “

In the 10-27 loss in the playoffs back, Diggs was thrown to a total of 10 times, more than any other Bills receiver. But Diggs seemed upset because Allen targeted him only once in a key fourth-quarter drive.

“When they were down by 17, they had a ten-play drive that ended with a turnover, and Diggs only got one ball thrown his way. So you would think a player of Diggs’ calibre with the relationship he has with Josh Allen would look to him more often in those moments, but that didn’t happen,” Griffin continued.

Reconciliation key to Bills’ success

After the drive in question, cameras caught Diggs yelling at his playmaker on the sideline. According to former quarterback Griffin, Allen and the team should have reacted differently in the appropriate situation. “They kind of ignored him. I think that led to some of those rumours in the offseason.”

He added: “Diggs wants to win, just like any other player, and I think if they can rekindle that friendship – Josh Allen needs to do something to rekindle that fire between those two – I think that’s going to be the key to the Bills’ success this year. “
