Regardless of how you feel personally about the Diggs trade, it’s important to remember how his time here in Buffalo will be remembered.

On the field, he helped push the Bills into a new era of success and he also made sure to show the fans just how much he enjoyed being a Bill.

Whether that was his community-based charity work or simply playing catch with young fans before every game, he continually showed he cared about the fan base he played for.

Maybe no story is a better example of that than at the time five-year-old Aydin Laborde’s.

Aydin, you may remember, lost his father in March of 2022. Diggs heard about this and from there the two along with Aydin’s mother would keep in touch. In December before their game against the Miami Dolphins back in the 2022-2023 season. Diggs gifted Aydin a brand-new pair of shoes for Christmas. Bringing the young boy to tears and warming the hearts of Bills Mafia.

Diggs took to Instagram on Wednesday to say one last goodbye to the team and Bills Mafia.
