The Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs has been the center of attention since the team's playoff loss against the Cincinnati Bengals.

For those who may not remember, Diggs had a heated sideline exchange with QB Josh Allen which bled into the locker room as he attempted to leave the building before speaking with the media or teammates.

Fast forward to today. There's been a slew of cryptic messages, a bizarre trade rumor, and even Diggs scrubbing his social media, causing a media firestorm as it just came at the most inopportune time.

Now, Diggs has broken his silence on his decision to shut down his Instagram and what he is trying to accomplish this season, giving fans an inside look at the mind of the pass-catcher.

Diggs joined The Pat McAfee Show to talk all things football, and inevitably some of the more controversial topics were brought up. You can watch the entire interview here.

"We play an opinion-based sport. I like mixing it up," Diggs opened up. "I just wanted to fly under the radar – like my team." When discussing his decision to delete his social media before the season.

Continuing on, Diggs opened up on his new focus for the upcoming season, what makes this year different, and why the league should be terrified of what he's about to do on the football field.

"My eyes are in front of me not behind me. For me, I've just been focused on each and every day putting my left foot in front of the right, going out, and grinding."

The superstar WR continued, hyping up the devout fanbase with his next message,  "Right now, I feel like a rookie again. I've got a chip on my shoulder and I got a lot to prove. For me, I'm more eager to get out there but it kind of starts out there. I've been doing everything I can and this s**t means a lot to me."
