Stefon Diggs is playing in his first game as a Houston Texan after being traded from Buffalo over the offseason. Just moments into that debut, he already looked frustrated.
Cameras caught the pass catcher in a heated talk with offensive teammates on the sidelines after a failed first half drive.
Diggs has always been vocal, quick to display his displeasure when things aren’t going well. His tirades landed criticism in previous stints with the Vikings and Bills, with many labeling the receiver as a Prima Donna.
In his last stop, the relationship with the Buffalo Bills organization began to deteriorate as he eventually forced a trade.
It didn’t take long to make waves in Houston!

Stefon Diggs gave teammates a piece of his mind, though it’s not clear whether he was trying light a fire under his offense or if he was upset with his usage.
The pep talk appears to have worked for the moment.
Shortly after the clip went viral, he was seen hauling in his first touchdown catch as a Texan.

Diggs was targeted three times in the first half, recording a trio of receptions and that lone Houston score. He also ran the ball one time for six yards.
He’ll hope to see a few more passes thrown his way as his first season in H-town continues.
