How quickly can Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs get on the same page?

If this was a normal offseason, this may not be as much of a question. However, as the pandemic changed offseason workouts, and even reduced the number of preseason games, this is certainly a more pressing concern for the Buffalo Bills.

The connection between quarterback and wide receiver is something that takes practice and reps. It is important for a quarterback to understand how long it takes receivers to run certain routes to ensure that their timing is on point.

The fact that Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs are going to have limited reps this offseason, even though the two did practice in Florida, could result in a slow start for these two.

As the season goes on, this will become less of an issue and the addition of Stefon Diggs should be a boost for this offense, as well as help in Josh Allen’s development. The question is just how long it will take for these two to get on the same page.
