"The Patriots' decision to sign Stefon Diggs in free agency to be the clear No. 1 receiver for Drake Maye was met with mixed reactions from analysts and fans. The primary reason for concern was his past with forcing his way off of teams with what many would refer to as a diva attitude, and that was not something the Patriots locker room needed now or in the future."
"But that has been the furthest thing from an issue so far in his Patriots tenure, and he has been nothing but a professional and a strong leader for the team, which is now translating to the field with back-to-back impressive performances that surely put him and Drake Maye on the map of some of the best offensive duos in football."
"Regardless, things are going well with the Maye to Diggs connection so far, and it is now starting to catch on with those around the league, immediately putting them on notice of their potential moving forward. It has prompted plenty of excitement from fans who have longed for another iconic duo in New England since the days of Tom Brady and Julian Edelman. You could go even further back and remember Brady and Randy Moss, even if that was short-lived."
Stefon Diggs signed with the Patriots as the clear No. 1 receiver for Drake Maye amid skepticism about past episodes of forcing his way off teams and an ACL injury that ended his 2024 season with the Texans. Diggs has shown professionalism and strong leadership in the Patriots locker room while producing back-to-back impressive on-field performances. The Maye-to-Diggs connection is gaining attention across the league and exciting fans who recall past iconic New England duos, positioning the pair as a potentially memorable offensive tandem moving forward.
