""It's awesome. I ask him so many questions. We talk during the games. He'll come up to me the way a corner play and I'll come ask him about how a receiver played, so it's huge. It's a lot for me as a corner. He's one of the most competitive people I've met. He's also a great person, a great teammate. He cares so much. A great leader.""
"Now that they're teammates, though, they are choosing to utilize their knowledge of the game from different perspectives and using that to improve their performance on game day. While speaking to Mark Daniels of MassLive about their game-day briefings, Diggs shared how mutually beneficial it is for the pair to pick each other's brains, describing what he might ask Gonzalez during a game to help him better understand the opposing defense."
The Patriots roster contains foundational players poised to make the team competitive, with cornerback Christian Gonzalez standing out as a top draft pick. Gonzalez and new teammate Stefon Diggs leverage prior on-field experience and current teamwork to exchange game-day insights. They communicate during games about opposing cornerbacks and receivers, with Gonzalez asking about receiver tendencies and Diggs offering defensive perspectives. The mutual exchange helps both players better understand opponents, enhances individual performance, and strengthens team preparation. Diggs' competitiveness and leadership complement Gonzalez's role, creating benefits on both offense and defense for the Patriots.
