The Houston Texans brought in a bunch of new faces this offseason as they have adopted an all-in approach for the 2024 NFL season, anticipating that they have a Super Bowl window. The biggest move in the bunch was trading for Buffalo Bills star wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who’s been one of the most consistent and productive receivers in the game since he was drafted back in 2015.
Diggs should continue to post over 1,000 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 literally has to get acclimated to his new home, which is much different than his two previous NFL cities. Speaking with reporters earlier this week at training camp, Diggs compared the heat in Houston to “what hell kinda feels like.”
Safe to say 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 imagine, being here, this is what hell kinda feels like” 🤣🤣🤣

Diggs may have personal experience that we are unaware of, but we’ve always thought of hell as having more of a dry heat, which would mean humid Houston is actually worse.
In any case, this current Texans team may be better than any of the Vikings or Bills squads that Diggs has been a part of before, and that’s saying something. Heading into the preseason, the New York Times has Houston ranked as the fourth-best team in the NFL.
