Buffalo Bills star Stefon Diggs raised some eyebrows with his bizarre start to the catch competition at the Pro Bowl Games on Sunday.
Diggs needed to make a spectacular and styling catch to help the AFC in the battle for NFL supremacy. He started his round crouching behind the NFL cheerleaders, who were facing the mat on which the competitors were supposed to land as they made their catch.

Once it was Diggs’ turn, he got a running start and the cheerleaders scurried out of the way. He then bounced on a trampoline through smoke to try to catch two balls that were thrown at him. However, the attempt fell flat.
The entire ordeal stunned NFL fans watching the event.

The 2023 Pro Bowl was the third selection of Diggs’ career. He had a terrific season to back it up.
He recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth consecutive time and had at least 10 touchdown catches for the second straight season. The Bills star had 108 catches for 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was a big reason why Buffalo was successful on offense this season.
