Who is the Bills' new No. 14? Why Buffalo gave Stefon Diggs' jersey number away image

Stefon Diggs made the jersey number 14 a popular one with the Buffalo Bills.

But now that he's gone, it has a new occupant.

Diggs is back in Buffalo on Sunday Night Football playing for the New England Patriots.

And his opposite number 14 will try to make a statement.

Who is the Bills' new No. 14?

The Buffalo Bills’ new number 14 is Tyrell Shavers.

He’s a much taller receiver than Diggs, and the Bills are hoping he can slowly develop into a contributor this season.

Shavers made a sick one-handed catch in the final preseason game to help land his spot on the roster.

He spent his college career at three stops: Alabama, Mississippi State and San Diego State.

A season ago, he caught one pass for the Bills. It was a 69-yard touchdown.

This season, Shavers has two catches for 24 yards.

Maybe a few Bills fans have re-made their Diggs 14 jerseys to say Shavers on them.

If he has a big game Sunday night, that'll definitely be a thing.
