Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs spoke about his offseason, training camp, Super Bowl 52, and chicken wings at B-Dubs Express in Edina, MN.
There is no denying that Stefon Diggs is a speedy man. On many occasions, the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver has used his skills to fly past defenders and make a spectacular catch. However, he wasn’t catching footballs in Edina, Minnesota on August 1, 2017.
On that day, Diggs was taking orders, signing autographs, and posing for photographs with fans at the first-ever B-Dubs Express store in Edina, a new establishment designed to get food quickly and provide meals to go.
Thankfully, the Vikings wide receiver had a moment to speak with The Viking Age about several different topics at B-Dubs express, the speedier eatery from Buffalo Wild Wings. Here is the interview as shared on the personal YouTube channel of Adam Carlson, site expert on TVA:
Firstly, I’d like to apologize for the noise and the strange sync between the mouth movements and the sounds. I’m not sure how that happened, but at least everything can be heard just fine.
After introductions, the conversation turns right to football. Diggs is happy to be ‘back to the grind’ at training camp and preparing for the 2017 season and spending time with his teammates on the practice field.
Next, Diggs’ role as a leader and a mentor was the topic of discussion, where he reveals that he made an effort on his own to welcome the new players to the team and help them adjust to the NFL level since he knows what that is like and wants to be a leader by example in the franchise.
Then comes the spot where the audio jumps, but the discussion was about him working hard and conditioning himself to stay healthy in order to play the entire 2017 season.

Up next, the conversation changed to quarterback Sam Bradford. Diggs and Bradford are getting their first offseason together and he feels that the more familiar they can get and more they can practice together, the better they will be going forward as long as he does his job.
We also discuss B-Dubs Express. Diggs says that his favorite food menu on the item is the boneless wings and that he loves putting the honey barbecue sauce on them whenever he does get the opportunity to treat himself.
Finally, we discuss the question on everyone’s mind, Super Bowl 52 in Minnesota. The wide receiver says it would mean the world to have the team playing in that game, but he wants to take the season one game at a time, yet keeping his eyes on the prize.
Minnesota Vikings fans can get some great wings, food, and drinks at B-Dubs Express in Edina, Minnesota which is open now or they can check out their location in Hopkins which opens on August 7th. Also, there are many great Buffalo Wild Wings locations nationwide to enjoy a delicious meal.
