Boldin: Bills' receiver room doesn't have 'diva mentality'

Anquan Boldin has seen a lot during his 15-year NFL career, but one thing he doesn't see when it comes to Buffalo Bills receivers is a soft attitude.

The newest member of the Bills receiving corps heaped praise onto his new teammates Tuesday, praising their ready-to-work attitudes and the versatility they have shown during camp, according to Vic Carucci of Buffalo News.

"There's definitely not that diva mentality in our receiver room," Boldin said. "We have guys that are willing to do whatever it is that the coaches ask, whether that be blocking, running a clear-out route or going across the middle, taking a big hit and making a catch.

"We have guys that are willing to do whatever it takes. That's the kind of guys that you want to work with, work along side of, because with the game on the line, you can count on them."

Boldin's comments come at an interesting time, considering the Bills traded star receiver Sammy Watkins to the Los Angeles Rams just three days prior.

Sure, Boldin's statements could be taken as a veiled shot at Watkins and his departure, but the 36-year-old isn't the only Bills receiver sharing that belief. Rookie wideout Zay Jones echoed much of his elder's sentiments Tuesday and has already begun to praise his leadership.

"In our room, there's no entitlement," Jones said. "I don't think anyone feels entitled, starting with Anquan. He's the most decorated and prestigious receiver in the room, and he comes to work just like all of us. His work habits are unbelievable and that's something that I look at and really feed off of."
