"But his performance in his first year with the Patriots has proven to be exactly what they needed, and he hasn't missed a beat, as he became the first receiver since Julian Edelman in 2019 to record 1,000+ receiving yards in a season. His postseason performance has been a bit quiet, far more than anyone anticipated, but his leadership and clutch showings have been a difference-maker for the offense."
"The pure emotion from Diggs after the win is exactly what Patriots fans love to see from the players, because it shows not only how they're feeling, too, but also shows just how much this game means to them. That's the kind of attitude that can get a team far, as they play for each other and for the fanbase, both of which have been repeated by the players throughout the 2025 season."
Stefon Diggs signed with the Patriots despite criticism after recovering from an ACL tear. He immediately became a clear No. 1 receiver, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards—the first Patriot to do so since 2019. His postseason production slowed, but his leadership and clutch contributions aided the offense. Diggs experienced his first Super Bowl after the Patriots defeated the Broncos, showing visible emotion following the win. The Patriots finished the regular season with 14 wins and an unprecedented undefeated road record. Diggs' move from Buffalo significantly contributed to both his personal success and the Patriots' breakthrough season.
