"The New England Patriots appear to have hit the jackpot with wide receiver Stefon Diggs. For those expecting Diggs to be more trouble than he's worth, especially coming off a torn ACL on the wrong side of 30, that hasn't been remotely close to the case over the first two months of the 2025 regular season. While Diggs is leading the Patriots' young wide receiver group in every major category (outside of touchdowns),"
"He's also emerged as the vocal leader the Patriots desperately need, as 23-year-old quarterback Drake Maye continues to develop and find his voice. Diggs' leadership was on full display during New England's marquee win at Buffalo. He added another layer last week, when ESPN's Mike Reiss reported that the Patriots' entire offensive line was treated to dinner with Diggs' personal chef; the linemen gathered at the home of center Garrett Bradbury, and were even able to pick the menu ahead of time."
"(Patriots lineman Ben) Brown said the menu included burgers, wings, steak, baked beans, salad and desserts, among other things," Reiss wrote. "The idea came up over breakfast at the stadium, when Diggs mentioned he did something similar for the receivers and would like to do it for the linemen as well. He said the group could put together a custom menu."
Stefon Diggs has produced strong play for the New England Patriots during the first two months of the 2025 season despite recovering from a torn ACL and being over 30. He leads the young receiving corps in most statistical categories while operating as a role player rather than a clear-cut WR1 in Josh McDaniels' offense. Diggs has emerged as a vocal leader, helping 23-year-old quarterback Drake Maye develop on and off the field. Diggs arranged a team dinner for the offensive line with his personal chef and allowed linemen to pick a custom menu. Drake Maye later reciprocated by hosting a hibachi-style dinner for the offensive line.
