"Because of his noticeable slow rise in a Patriots uniform, it's unsurprising that reporters asked Diggs about his comfort level in Josh McDaniels' offense. The seasoned offensive coordinator is known for putting together a complex playbook, so there's reason to believe that Diggs is taking longer to get the hang of it. To an extent, he nearly said as much, which might draw some groans from Patriots Nation."
"Although it was expected that he would likely be on a snap count due to suffering an ACL injury last season, he hasn't been the weapon that many believed he would be. That finally changed on Sunday when he recorded his first 100+ yard game since signing in New England, proving he is still the player some thought he wouldn't be anymore."
The Patriots' receiving corps has generated scrutiny through the first month of the 2025 season following Stefon Diggs' slow start. Diggs was expected to be on a snap count after an ACL injury last season, which limited early production. He recorded his first 100-plus-yard game for New England on Sunday, demonstrating he can still perform as a top receiver. Postgame comments revealed discomfort learning Josh McDaniels' complex offense, with Diggs rating his comfort around "5 out of 10." Despite that, his recent performance against the Panthers suggests a growing comfort level and potential for continued high-level play.
