Stefon Diggs may be well known for his talent on the football field, but what many might not have realized is that he is a multi-sport athlete. A video of the Buffalo Bills wide receiver playing basketball in a gym with others circulated around social media this weekend.
Diggs is seen squaring up against another player and has an impressive shot off the arc, as well as a decent layup.
While this isn't the first time that a video of Diggs playing basketball has been posted online, fans were still impressed by how good he is at the sport.

Some fans were quick to judge the person playing defense and thought it was perhaps his shortcoming that made the wide receiver look so good. Others gave him the NFL star the credit he deserved, with some even comparing him to NBA stars LeBron James and Bradley Beal.
Other fans were concerned that Stefon Diggs was playing basketball during the offseason and putting himself in danger of suffering an injury. Or even worse, prevent him from being ready for a training camp.
All in all, while other NFL players have also been seen playing basketball and other sports, it appears that the wide receiver may be one of the better to play hoops. But football is still what fans are excited to see him play again in just a few months.
Stefon Diggs isn't the only NFL player who is good at basketball
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs isn't the only NFL player who has made headlines for his impressive basketball skills. Earlier this offseason, Seattle Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf surprised everyone while playing in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
Metcalf was a member of NBA champion Dwayne Wade's team and was nearly unstoppable. He had 20 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocks during the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game that took place this past February in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Metcalf's dunks on his fellow celebrity opponents had everyone in the building shocked. He helped lead Team Wade to a victory after they trailed earlier on in the game. His outstanding performance led to him being named the 'Most Valuable Player' of the 2023 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
Metcalf was the first NFL player to win the MVP award since former NFL wide receiver, now Hall of Famer, Terrell Owens in 2009.
