"The New England Patriots spent big this offseason to bring in free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs. New England is Diggs' fourth stop in the NFL after spending 2024 with the Houston Texans and several seasons each with both the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings. After being on pace to hit the 1,000-yard mark yet again, Diggs went down with an ACL tear that ended his 2024."
"Before Diggs was in New England or Houston, however, he had a strong couple of seasons in Buffalo after being traded from the Vikings. In his four seasons in Western New York, he dropped below 1,200 yards only once and never caught fewer than 103 balls. He also never dipped below eight touchdowns. In 2020, he led the league in yards."
"There's little doubt Diggs helped Josh Allen's career immensely and elevated Buffalo's offense. The Bills jumped from 23rd to third in PPG from 2019 to 2020, the main addition being Diggs. Allen's completion percentage jumped by 11% and he threw for 1,500 more yards and 17 more touchdowns, with just one more interception. Diggs' importance in Buffalo cannot be understated."
Stefon Diggs signed with the New England Patriots after previous stops with the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings. He suffered an ACL tear in 2024 that ended his season despite being on pace for 1,000 receiving yards. Diggs led Patriots receivers in catches and recorded his first 100-yard game for New England in Week 4. In Buffalo, Diggs produced four strong seasons, rarely falling below 1,200 yards, 103 catches or eight touchdowns, and led the league in yards in 2020. Diggs significantly boosted Josh Allen's efficiency and the Bills' scoring output, helping the team rise in points per game.
