Texans star Stefon Diggs has colorful comparison to Houston Heat

The Houston Texans brought in a bunch of new faces this offseason as they took an all-out approach to the 2024 NFL season, anticipating a possible Super Bowl window. The biggest move of the bunch was the trade for Buffalo Bills star receiver Stefon Diggs, who has been one of the game’s most consistent and productive receivers since being drafted in 2015.

Diggs should continue to post 1,000-plus receiving yards each year in Houston, as he did in Buffalo and Minnesota before that. It takes time to build chemistry with a new quarterback, though, and Diggs still has to literally acclimate to his new home, which is vastly different from his previous two NFL cities. Speaking to reporters earlier this week at training camp, Diggs compared the heat in Houston to “what it feels like to be in hell.”

It’s safe to say that Texans WR Stefon Diggs has had a good experience with the heat in Houston so far:

“I’ve played in two extremely cold places. I guess being here is kind of what hell feels like” 🤣🤣🤣

Diggs may have personal experience that we don’t know about, but we’ve always assumed that hell has drier heat, which would mean humid Houston is actually worse.

Regardless, the current Texans team may be better than any Vikings or Bills team Diggs has ever been a part of, and that’s saying something. Heading into the preseason, the New York Times ranks Houston as the fourth-best team in the NFL.
