Filling the Void: How Marquez Valdes-Scantling Can Make a Name for Himself in Buffalo
When the Buffalo Bills traded away star wide receiver Stefon Diggs, many wondered how they would fill the void left by his departure. One man who is no stranger to stepping into the shoes of a superstar is Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who was part of the Kansas City Chiefs’ receiving corps when Tyreek Hill left. Now, Valdes-Scantling is on a mission to prove himself in Buffalo, but he’s not looking to replace anyone.
“I never really look at it like that because I went through the same thing when I went to Kansas City and Tyreek Hill left,” Valdes-Scantling said in a recent interview on The Herd with Colin Cowherd. “I just come in there and be myself. Whatever that version of myself is that’s needed for the team to help them win, that’s what it is.”

But Valdes-Scantling’s attitude is a breath of fresh air, and a testament to the resilience of athletes who are willing to put in the work to succeed.

As the 2024 season approaches, fans will be watching closely to see how Valdes-Scantling and the Bills fare. Will they be able to overcome the loss of Diggs and make a statement in the NFL?
