As per reports, a car that the wide receiver owned was found near some train tracks in Miami this weekend. However, Diggs has apparently denied any connection with the seemingly strange situation.

The car found has Maryland license plates, and belonged to the Buffalo Bills star.

As no one – including Diggs – was found near the car, the police had it towed. Further reports added that the NFL star was not in Florida when the car was abandoned, and a friend had borrowed it for himself. The friend apparently had a flat tire and left before help from the tow company arrived. 

The car is currently being repaired at a Mercedes-Benz dealership. The situation seemed pretty straightforward, considering Diggs' spokesperson maintained that the car was not stolen but borrowed.
