Diggs, who was traded this offseason from Buffalo, has been a consistent playmaker for Houston since the start of training camp. He was voted by his teammates as a captain, something he wanted to achieve with his third roster.
“I had to earn something I wanted for myself,” Diggs told reporters Thursday afternoon. “I feel like being a captain and that level of accountability not only just holds those around you accountable, it holds yourself accountable. You are who you are. You can’t run from that.”
Diggs is currently the eight in receiving yards among active players behind Julio Jones (13,703), DeAndre Hopkins (12,355), Mike Evans (11,680), Travis Kelce (11,362), Davante Adams (10,781) and Keenan Allen (10,530).
The Texans will recieve the ball to begin the second half.
